If the target kernel does not inlcude the FIXUP_ENDIAN check, coming
from a different-endian kernel will cause the target kernel to panic.
All ppc64 kernels can handle starting in big-endian mode, so return to
big-endian before branching into the target kernel.

This mainly affects pseries as secondaries on powernv are returned to
OPAL.

v2: Add an #ifdef for subarch-specific code
    Neaten the endian check (and extra call to mfmsr!) by modifying the msr and
    branching to the target kernel in the same call to rfid.

"b 0x60" needs to be "ba 0x60".
