Why is ppc not covered?

@hramrach
Because, frankly, when I wrote this article, it was decided to focus on the basic use-cases and the most widespread architectures. SLE 16 introduced Agama, which might have added to the complexity (not very sure about this).
For more information, see https://jira.suse.com/browse/PED-12842 - we aim to cover ppc64le as a separate task.
Given that, does the current PR addresses BZ#1252040?

powerpc-ieee1275 aka ppc64le is not UEFI, but AFAIK, supports secure boot too. The grub bootloader is in /boot/grub2/grub.elf on the ISOs.
