Drop "disable boot order" bit of ppc64le QEMU backend patch

Browse Source 
QEMU spapr/pseries honors -boot once=d / order=, so leaving
$arch_supports_boot_order disabled on ppc64le made install tests
that supply both an ISO and an HDD_1 boot the HDD instead of the
installer CD (same symptom as running x86_64 without -boot). Drop
that line from the patch so ppc64le behaves like x86_64.

Patch description updated to record the history; hunk shrinks by
one line and the patch diffstat updates accordingly.

@ -17,12 +17,18 @@ ppc64le:
- Use VirtIO Keyboard as a keyboard device.
- Use VirtIO Tablet as a tablet device.
- Do not remove floppy drive device since it's not supported.
- Do not add boot order since it's not supported for this architecture.
Note: originally this patch also disabled boot-order (`-boot once=d` /
`-boot order=`). That turned out to be wrong - QEMU spapr (pseries)
does honor these flags, and without them install tests that supply
both an ISO and an HDD_1 boot the HDD instead of the installer CD on
ppc64le. The boot-order disable has been dropped so ppc64le behaves
like x86_64.

* Thu Apr 23 2026 Andrew Lukoshko <alukoshko@almalinux.org> - 4.6^20230731git6c17e24-4
- Drop the ppc64le "disable arch_supports_boot_order" bit from the
AArch64/ppc64le QEMU backend patch. QEMU spapr supports -boot
once=d / order=, and leaving it disabled makes install tests that
supply both an ISO and an HDD_1 boot the HDD instead of the
installer CD on ppc64le.
* Tue Apr 21 2026 Andrew Lukoshko <alukoshko@almalinux.org> - 4.6^20230731git6c17e24-3
- Add AArch64 and ppc64le support to QEMU backend (by Elkhan Mammadli)
