4.17 dropped power4. power5 and up are still supported just fine.

Could someone please clarify if this is possible/acceptable ? The new
ppc64 kernel would not be the default but could be installed on G5
machine after installation.
Thanks
Package: src:linux
Version: 4.6.1-1
Would it be possible to ship an alternate ppc64 kernel build without
the 64K page option ? This would allow us to provide a (non-default)
ppc64 kernel which would work with old G5 Mac with nvidia card.
