Ben Dooks has a separate branch on top of this base branch for
big-endian support, that adds atags compat code to convert the ATAGs
data from LE to BE. See the baserock/311/be/atags branch in
git://git.baserock.org/delta/linux. Or
http://git.baserock.org/cgi-bin/cgit.cgi/delta/linux.git/log/?h=baserock/311/be/atags.
