This patch series addresses bugs in the PowerPC single-step emulation
code (arch/powerpc/lib/sstep.c) pertaining to Little Endian.
The existing code has a chicken switch for little endian.  The first
patch softens the restriction so that only cross-endian modes are not
supported.
There is a general problem with unaligned little endian loads and stores.
This is addressed by the second patch.
Finally, there is a problem with unaligned single precision floating point
loads and stores which is addressed by the third patch.
V2: fixed bug in MSR[LE] check identified by Andreas Schwab and
Geert Uytterhoeven.
