GRUB2 as the ISO boot loader for POWER arch (#1131199)

Currently, yaboot is the ISO boot loader in fedora and the Fedora on
POWER team is making an effort in order to replace it by GRUB2 in the
F20 release cycle. I'm sending a lorax patch so you guys can comment
on it. I'm planning to create a feature page for that too.

This patch only change the lorax template for ppc and should not
affect other archs, like x86.
