I'd like to see this done in a host endian independent way.

See my recent patch set to add facility support to the tcg side
of target-s390, with which this patch set is going to conflict.

Is there a good reason not to compute these facility masks at
compile-time?  See

 http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/279534/

where I have pre-computed (possibly incomplete) facilities lists
for the major cpu revisions.

It just seems like your facility_availability array is the wrong
way to go about things, taking up more memory and startup time
than necessary.
