Subject: [PATCH] ARM: mm: support big-endian page tables

When enable LPAE and big-endian in a hisilicon board, while specify
mem=384M mem=512M@...0M, will get bad page state:

Freeing unused kernel memory: 180K (c0466000 - c0493000)
BUG: Bad page state in process init  pfn:fa442
page:c7749840 count:0 mapcount:-1 mapping:  (null) index:0x0
page flags: 0x40000400(reserved)

The bad pfn:fa442 is not system memory(mem=384M mem=512M@...0M), after debugging,
I find in page fault handler, will get wrong pfn from pte just after set pte,
as follow:
do_anonymous_page()
{
	...
	set_pte_at(mm, address, page_table, entry);
	
	//debug code
	pfn = pte_pfn(entry);
	pr_info("pfn:0x%lx, pte:0x%llx\n", pfn, pte_val(entry));

	//read out the pte just set
	new_pte = pte_offset_map(pmd, address);
	new_pfn = pte_pfn(*new_pte);
	pr_info("new pfn:0x%lx, new pte:0x%llx\n", pfn, pte_val(entry));
	...
}

pfn:   0x1fa4f5,     pte:0xc00001fa4f575f
new_pfn:0xfa4f5, new_pte:0xc00000fa4f5f5f	//new pfn/pte is wrong.

The bug is happened in cpu_v7_set_pte_ext(ptep, pte):
when pte is 64-bit, for little-endian, will store low 32-bit in r2,
high 32-bit in r3; for big-endian, will store low 32-bit in r3,
high 32-bit in r2, this will cause wrong pfn stored in pte,
so we should exchange r2 and r3 for big-endian.
