We have machines in CentOS CI now, so that should be possible.  Though
I thought DLRN was the repository that CI used, so that seems like we
have a chicken/egg scenario if there is no DLRN repo that includes
ppc64le?

This is likely a dumb question because my understandings of the RDO
bits and pieces and workflow are really limited.  If there are docs
that outline this, feel free to point me (and probably Mark and other
newbies) to them.  If not, could you explain briefly?
