Bug Description
[Impact]
This prevents the installation process for completing for ppc64el systems due to / not having sufficient space for installing kernel modules.
[Test Case]
See below "Steps to reproduce"
[Regression Potential]
Minimal. This changes the recipe used for the initial partitioning of disks when the multi recipe is picked. Multi is not the default recipe, and this simply merges the / and /usr partitions so that /usr will be contained on the same partition as / rather than being on a separate partition (and thus mounted onto /). Possible issues might be that remaining space for the partition will be slightly lower than it would be for the two separate partitions.
