Ian Munsie d72b080171 powerpc: Add ability to build little endian kernels
This patch allows the kbuild system to successfully compile a kernel
for the little endian PowerPC64 architecture. A subsequent patch
will add the CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN kernel config option which
must be set to build such a kernel.

If cross compiling, CROSS_COMPILE must point to a suitable toolchain
(compiled for the powerpc64le-linux and powerpcle-linux targets).

To extract the kernel vmlinux, System.map, .config or initrd from the zImage binary:

objcopy -j .kernel:vmlinux -O binary zImage vmlinux.gz
objcopy -j .kernel:System.map -O binary zImage System.map.gz
objcopy -j .kernel:.config -O binary zImage config.gz
objcopy -j .kernel:initrd -O binary zImage.initrd initrd.gz
