Add the PowerPC name and the PPC_ELFNOTE_CAPABILITIES type in the kernel binary ELF note. This type is a bitmap that can be used to advertise kernel capabilities to userland. This patch also defines PPCCAP_ULTRAVISOR_BIT as being the bit zero.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
