Subject: [PATCH v4 2/2] powerpc/64: Option to use ELF V2 ABI for big-endian kernels

Provide an option to build big-endian kernels using the ELFv2 ABI. This
works on GCC only so far, although it is rumored to work with clang
that's not been tested yet. A new module version check ensures the
module ELF ABI level matches the kernel build.

This can give big-endian kernels some useful advantages of the ELFv2 ABI
(e.g., less stack usage, -mprofile-kernel, better compatibility with eBPF
tools).

BE+ELFv2 is not officially supported by the GNU toolchain, but it works
fine in testing and has been used by some userspace for some time (e.g.,
Void Linux).
