Subject: [PATCH iproute2] tc: bpf: add ppc64 and sparc64 to list of archs with eBPF support

sparc64 support was added in 7a12b5031c6b (sparc64: Add eBPF JIT., 2017-04-17)[0]
and ppc64 in 156d0e290e96 (powerpc/ebpf/jit: Implement JIT compiler for extended BPF, 2016-06-22)[1].

 The kernel internally transforms cBPF expressions into eBPF expressions and
 executes the latter. Execution of them can be performed in an interpreter
 or at setup time, they can be just-in-time compiled (JIT'ed) to run as

 eBPF's instruction set has similar underlying principles as the cBPF
 instruction set, it however is modelled closer to the underlying
