It depends on the Cloud SIG and specifically RDO people here : either
they want to take responsability of altarch builds for mitaka, and so
that means that if it fails for that specific arch, it will fail the
whole task (and so also x86_64), or as you mention, using a different
tag, so that task are separate (and so one needs to submit against that
tag too).
That seems the more common option for now, especially when starting to
build for a new arch.

Ideally those would be the same SRPMs as for x86_64. If specific patches
would need to be added, those would need to be included in upstream
SRPMs too.

That would be difficult, as there is no ppc64/ppc64le hardware in CI at
the moment
