I came back to these patches and I think I have solved the remaining problems -- it now builds with 64-bit big and little endian (using a le toolchain), and also 32-bit big using 64le toolchain. There might be some build failures still left, but it seems to be in much better shape now. Reviews would be welcome. I don't quite know how it should be merged, maybe via the kbuild tree after acks from powerpc maintainer. We can decide that after it gets more testing and review.
