Title:
  bbswitch-dkms: drop support for armhf and ppc64el

Status in bbswitch package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in bbswitch source package in Jammy:
  New

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  bbswitch is a kernel module that is supposed to detect certain ACPI
  calls and toggle power on NVIDIA optimus video cards.

  There is no reason to provide this feature on architectures that don't
  have an ACPI bus. This will also prevent potential build failures in
  the future.

  [Test case]

  On armhf or ppc64el:

  apt install bbswitch-dkms
  ...
  ERROR: modpost: "acpi_root_dir" 
[/var/lib/dkms/bbswitch/0.8/build/bbswitch.ko] undefined!

  [Fix]

  Simply drop support for armhf and ppc64el.

  [Regression potential]

  This module won't be available if there's any "special" armhf or
  ppc64el system with an NVIDIA optimus card (I doubt a system like this
  will ever exist).
