This patchset adds support for using Big Endian mode of AArch64 CPUs
All patches have been tested on APM X-Gene Storm SOC.
The Big Endian toolchain used for development can be found at: http://cbuild.validation.linaro.org/snapshots/big_endian
We have tested both 32bit BE and 64bit BE root filesystems with these patches.
The 64bit BE root filesystem was build manually using busybox-1.21.1 and above mentioned toolchain.
The 32bit BE root filesystem was readily available from Linaro releases located at: http://snapshots.linaro.org/openembedded/images

As of now this flag assumes that the bootloader is in LE mode. It is left to the kernel to switch to BE mode. This flag makes the kernel set necessary flags in SCTLR registers on entry.
[...] and your board

This is a generic patch for the architecture. Each driver needs to make necessary changes keeping the kernel endianness in mind. We have tested these patches on our X-Gene platform.

I would suggest that you say that instead. The existing wording makes it sound strictly hardware related.

Perhaps it would be clearer to say "drivers" instead of "board ports" then. I thought the comment was referring to code inside mach-* or plat-* directories.

Use generic big_endian.h when using big endian compiler.
