[virt-tools-list] [PATCH] Update initrd and kernel path for ppc64le platform.

[Manjunath A Kumatagi]

This is how I tested :

1. Download -
http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/isos/ppc64le/CentOS-7-AltArch-ppc64le-NetInstall-1511.iso
 to /root
2. Save the content from https://da.gd/NLuP to /root/centos-7ppc64le.ks
3. Loop mount /root/CentOS-7-AltArch-ppc64le-NetInstall-1511.iso
to /mnt/cdrom

4. Then start the install by following command:

/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-install -n centos_test_vm -r 1024 --noreboot
--noautoconsole --debug --graphics none
--initrd-inject /root/centos-7ppc64le.ks --disk
path=/var/tmp/diskjJxxyA.img,format=raw --disk
path=/root/CentOS-7-AltArch-ppc64le-NetInstall-1511.iso,device=cdrom,readonly=on,shareable=on
 --extra-args ks=file:/centos-7ppc64le.ks inst.cmdline
stage2=live:CDLABEL=CentOS_AltArch_7_ppc64le --location /mnt/cdrom
--channel
tcp,host=127.0.0.1:33696,mode=connect,target_type=virtio,name=org.fedoraproject.anaconda.log.0

images/pxeboot folder. So to support custom boot the CentOS 7 ppc64le
platform I've added the code to search under ppc/ppc64 folder as well.

Can you give me an example public URL to test with?

Thanks,
Cole
