Hi maintainers,
This patch switches the kernel type/image filename on ppc64el
to vmlinuz (from vmlinux), and drops a workaround patch.

The zImage build is available starting with linux 3.16, with the
introduction of the '64bit little endian wrapper' patch-set.
(FYI, this is also happening in Ubuntu LP #1358920 [1])
The necessary changes for d-i will be submitted shortly (on #754093).
May you please consider it for an upload?
Thanks!

-Subject: ppc64el: kernel: patch: temporarily disable zImage
-
-Debian ppc64el will wait for the 'powerpc/boot: 64bit little endian wrapper'
-(zImage) patches upstream rather than shipping 32-bit tools for zImage. The
-patches are currently in Ben Herrenschmidt's linux-next tree [1].
-
-The patches are not being carried over instead of this workaround because,
-even without both, the build process does produces vmlinux, only failing for
-zImage. So, it's ok to just work-around this for now, as we pick vmlinux.
-
-The workaround patch just avoids this build error:
-
- [...]
- LD vmlinux
- SYSMAP System.map
- [...]
- WRAP arch/powerpc/boot/zImage.pseries
- ld: unrecognised emulation mode: elf32ppc
- Supported emulations: elf64lppc elf32lppc elf32lppclinux elf32lppcsim
- make[6]: *** [arch/powerpc/boot/zImage.pseries] Error 1
- make[5]: *** [zImage] Error 2

Closing as it's agreed this change should not be made.
