[OpenBIOS] [PATCH] ppc: force target cpu

With gcc-5.2 default target is power7.

- For 32-bit PPC builds set the target cpu to 604 in order to support PReP as
  well as Macs in the future.

- For 64-bit PPC builds set the target cpu to 970 as used in 64-bit Macs but
  disable altivec.

Based on an original patch by Laurent Vivier <laurent at vivier.eu>.
