[PATCH V2 1/2] powerpc/kexec: Reset secondary cpu endianess before kexec

If the target kernel does not inlcude the FIXUP_ENDIAN check, coming
from a different-endian kernel will cause the target kernel to panic.
All ppc64 kernels can handle starting in big-endian mode, so return to
big-endian before branching into the target kernel.
This mainly affects pseries as secondaries on powernv are returned to
OPAL.

v2: Add an #ifdef for subarch-specific code
Neaten the endian check (and extra call to mfmsr!) by modifying the msr and
branching to the target kernel in the same call to rfid.
