[PATCH 3/4] powerpc: Add hack to make ppc64le work on hosts without ILE

Mon Dec 23 12:24:44 EST 2013
Some hypervisors don't implement the H_SET_MODE hypercall that we
need to set the ILE bit in LPCR which allows us to execute interrupts
in little endian mode.
However otherwise we would be able to run on those hypervisors just
fine.
So let's be creative. This patch creates a few small helpers that
work without register clobbering that execute in big endian mode.
Every interrupt gets patched with a branch instruction as the first
instruction which jumps into their respective helper. That helper
enables MSR.LE and returns back to the original interrupt.
That way we can keep our interrupt handlers in little endian code
while the hypervisor is unaware that we need them to be in little
endian.
