[PATCH] ppc64: Build zImage.vmode for G5



zImage.vmode was recently added.  It's a version of zImage in which the ELF
note section used by open firmware indicates that it requires a virtual
mode instance of OF instead of real mode.  This allows it to work with
Apple OF, and thus is directly bootable (or netbootable) from OF command
line.  (Unfortunately, pSeries OF sort-of requires real mode and Apple OF
sort-of requires virtual mode, and both tend to be unhappy if no notes
section specifies the mode at all).

However, we forgot to add zImage.vmode to the default G5 build. This
fixes it.
