Subject: [PATCH 4.5 020/124] arm64: opcodes.h: Add arm big-endian config options before including arm header

4.5-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: James Morse <james.morse@....com>

commit a6002ec5a8c68e69706b2efd6db6d682d0ab672c upstream.

arm and arm64 use different config options to specify big endian. This
needs taking into account when including code/headers between the two
architectures.

A case in point is PAN, which uses the __instr_arm() macro to output
instructions. The macro comes from opcodes.h, which lives under arch/arm.
On a big-endian build the mismatched config options mean the instruction
isn't byte swapped correctly, resulting in undefined instruction exceptions
during boot:
