Ok, this caused a conflict in arch/powerpc/kernel/prom.c, where some
of the OF CPU number accessors had been moved to generic OF code
instead.

It *looks* to me like those accessors had already been made
endian-clean as part of the move to generic code, and so my conflict
resolution was to just ignore the parts of the changes the code that
no longer exists in prom.c, but you really should double-check my
resolution. Maybe I screwed it up.

But apparent'y the LE mode isn't finished, so hopefully even if I read
those changes wrong it won't affect you guys too badly. I didn't
test-compile any of it, yadda yadda..
