Current platform implementation (globals_ppc.hpp) uses regular product flags for almost everything.
Most platform specific flags were never intended for official support. They are only there to diagnose issues and find
workarounds. So flag kind "diagnostic" fits better for them.

Note that I rearranged a couple of lines when looking at the diff.
My actual change is what is described here: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8253692
