Backtrace of host system crashing with little-endian kernel

We have an IBM POWER server (8247-42L) running Linux kernel 5.4.13 on Debian
unstable hosting a big-endian ppc64 virtual machine running the same kernel in
big-endian mode.

When building OpenJDK-11 on the big-endian VM, the testsuite crashes the *host*
system which is little-endian with the following kernel backtrace. The problem
reproduces both with kernel 4.19.98 as well as 5.4.13, both guest and host
running 5.4.x.

Backtrace attached.
