Another clueless comment.
Naturally, since you didn't understand what the SUBARCHES variable is used
for, and didn't bother to check, you had no chance to understand what is going
on here. Please leave that code alone, and leave it to folk who actually
understand what is going on on powerpc. Would be easier if you had not
actually unfairly outcast the most active of them.
The current code is perfectly fine as it is, altough your second hunk, altough
cosmetic could be valid.
The first hunk breaks prep support though, which needs the mkvmlinuz build
vmlinuz with builtin initrd, since it cannot boot a plain elf vmlinux and
separate initrd.gz, since neither yaboot nor grub2 boots on it.
Just give my commit access back, and let me handle the powerpc port, instead
of persisting in your spoiled child revenge, and try to dabble in something
where you are both clueless and uninterested.
