Update the 64s GENERIC_CPU option. POWER4 support has been dropped, so make that clear in the option name. The POWER5_CPU option is dropped because it's uncommon, and GENERIC_CPU covers it. -mtune= before power8 is dropped because the minimum gcc version supports power8, and tuning is made consistent between big and little endian. A 970 option is added for PowerPC 970 / G5 because they still have a user base, and -mtune=power8 does not generate good code for the 970. This also updates the ISA versions document to add Power4/Power4+ because I didn't realise Power4+ used 2.01.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
