Subject: [PATCH 2/3] support ARM BE8 mode on a little endian machine
When BE8 kernel is running on a little endian machine, the kernel endian
mode need to be converted at the begining of the startup procedure with
the instruction "setend be".
Besides, the tags that the bootloader passed to the kernel are in
little-endian mode and they need to be inverted.
