Disable these two for now, we can readd them later, and they need fixing for
ARCH=powerpc anyway.

This one has been added upstream, not sure if for rc5 or later, so it can
probably be safely dropped.

This one should be dropped until the upstream apus patches get merged into
2.6.15, probably a couple of weeks after the 2.6.15 release.

Not sure about those ones, arch/ppc64 is dead as of 2.6.15 though, so i doubt
the latest one one is needed or applies, just disable them and let me check
them later on.
There are some packaging changes needed to have kpkg-arch in addition to
kpkg-subarch, and have a fixed kernel-package for this.
