[PATCH v4 6/9] powerpc: Add functions to read ELF files of any endianness.

Thiago Jung Bauermann
2016-07-07T18:47:46Z

A little endian kernel might need to kexec a big endian kernel (the
opposite is less likely but could happen as well), so we can't just cast
the buffer with the binary to ELF structs and use them as is done
elsewhere.

This patch adds functions which do byte-swapping as necessary when
populating the ELF structs. These functions will be used in the next
patch in the series.
