When enable LPAE and big-endian in a hisilicon board, while specify
mem=384M mem=512M@7680M, will get bad page state:
Freeing unused kernel memory: 180K (c0466000 - c0493000)
BUG: Bad page state in process init pfn:fa442

The bad pfn:fa442 is not system memory(mem=384M mem=512M@7680M), after debugging,
I find in page fault handler, will get wrong pfn from pte just after set pte,
as follow:
do_anonymous_page()
{
...
set_pte_at(mm, address, page_table, entry);
//debug code
pfn = pte_pfn(entry);
pr_info("pfn:0x%lx, pte:0x%llx\n", pfn, pte_val(entry));
//read out the pte just set
new_pte = pte_offset_map(pmd, address);
new_pfn = pte_pfn(*new_pte);
pr_info("new pfn:0x%lx, new pte:0x%llx\n", pfn, pte_val(entry));
...
}
pfn: 0x1fa4f5, pte:0xc00001fa4f575f
new_pfn:0xfa4f5, new_pte:0xc00000fa4f5f5f //new pfn/pte is wrong.
The bug is happened in cpu_v7_set_pte_ext(ptep, pte):
An LPAE PTE is a 64bit quantity, passed to cpu_v7_set_pte_ext in the r2 and r3 registers.
On an LE kernel, r2 contains the LSB of the PTE, and r3 the MSB.
On a BE kernel, the assignment is reversed.
Unfortunately, the current code always assumes the LE case,
leading to corruption of the PTE when clearing/setting bits.
This patch fixes this issue much like it has been done already in the
cpu_v7_switch_mm case.
