This patch sets the minimum kernel version required for ppc64le as
3.10.0.


Please document somewhere why this kernel version was chosen (and not
3.12 or later, as Joseph suggested).  I can guess the reason, but it
would be nice to make this explicit.


Linux 3.13 was the first upstream version to support powerpc64le, but
3.10 is the oldest kernel version known to still be supported on
powerpc64le.
Added that in bugzilla comment as well.
