Subject: [PATCH] arc: use little endian accesses

Memory access primitives should use cpu_to_le16, cpu_to_le32, le16_to_cpu
and le32_to_cpu because it is not really guaranteed that drivers handles
any ordering themselves.
For example, serial port driver doesn't work when kernel is build for
arc big endian architecture.
