Subject: no 32-bit support on LE powerpc64le

Hello all,

we have a problem to build kernel-4.0 on ppc64le. The real problem is 
that there's no 32 bit code generator support in gcc on the ppc64le.
So the option NO_PERF_READ_VDSO32 should be set to 1 on ppc64le.

I have create a patch which fixes the issue for me.

+endif
  ifeq (${IS_64_BIT}, 1)
    ifndef NO_PERF_READ_VDSO32
      $(call feature_check,compile-32)
