As far as I can tell, it's two extra instructions and makes the LE and BE cases look different. > strh ip, [r7, #2] > 2: cmp r4, r5 > ldrcc r7, [r4], #4 @ use branch for delay slot > @@ -594,8 +596,14 @@ __fixup_a_pv_table: > #else > b 2f > 1: ldr ip, [r7, r3] > +#ifdef CONFIG_CPU_ENDIAN_BE8 > + @ in BE8, we load data in BE, but instructions still in LE > + bic ip, ip, #0xff000000 > + orr ip, ip, r6, lsl#24 Pedantry: you could add a space between lsl and #24.
