[...] Based on <http://openpowerfoundation.org/technical/technical-resources/technical-specifications/> I think it's 'PowerPC 64-bit little-endian', or 'PowerISA little-endian'. However, comparing with the way we've named other architectures, '64-bit PowerPC (little-endian)' would be more consistent.
