powerpc: Handle opposite-endian processes in emulation code

Browse Source 
This adds code to the load and store emulation code to byte-swap
the data appropriately when the process being emulated is set to
the opposite endianness to that of the kernel.

This also enables the emulation for the multiple-register loads
and stores (lmw, stmw, lswi, stswi, lswx, stswx) to work for
little-endian.  In little-endian mode, the partial word at the
end of a transfer for lsw*/stsw* (when the byte count is not a
multiple of 4) is loaded/stored at the least-significant end of
the register.  Additionally, this fixes a bug in the previous
code in that it could call read_mem/write_mem with a byte count
that was not 1, 2, 4 or 8.

Note that this only works correctly on processors with "true"
little-endian mode, such as IBM POWER processors from POWER6 on, not
the so-called "PowerPC" little-endian mode that uses address swizzling
as implemented on the old 32-bit 603, 604, 740/750, 74xx CPUs.
