[PATCH 60/63] powerpc: Add ability to build little endian kernels

[Anton Blanchard]

From: Ian Munsie <imunsie at au1.ibm.com>

This patch allows the kbuild system to successfully compile a kernel for
the little endian PowerPC64 architecture.

To build such a kernel a supported platform must be used and
CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN must be set. If cross compiling, CROSS_COMPILE
must point to a suitable toolchain (compiled for the powerpc64le-linux
and powerpcle-linux targets).
