how to check for "optional" ppc chip features (MSR_BE)

Yeah, all that stuff I could figure out as needed.  What I really meant
was, where is the big official table of which chips behave which ways that
you base all code that on?  Actually, I don't really care as long as you
all are happy to be responsible for figuring out what matters.  With the
patch I posted to use MSR_BE, I took Kumar Gala's word as gospel that all
the chips on which we use MSR_SE also have MSR_BE.  If that's not right,
then I hope you'd like to pick a feature bit, populate the tables, etc.,
and fix the definition of arch_has_block_step() as appropriate.


Thanks,
Roland
