Building some images failed on ppc64le because the dockerfile tried to install some packages that are only available in x86 and arm64, to solve this while still having those packages be available in those architectures a comment was put before the installation command to instruct the python script into ignoring those lines for some architectures (in this case ppc64le)
Overall I'm not a big fan of the way I solved this problem, so I'd like to know if anyone has a better way to make these dockerfilse work in PPC64LE. For context the base images used here are available in PPC64LE but some of the packages installed are not (in alpine's case it's XEN, which is only available to x86 and ARM), so this patch create a ignore_list which is set on a per-architecture basis, and any packages in a dockerfile in this ignore_list will not be copied to the temporary dockerfile used in the docker command.
