Is this patch only for stable kernel,
not for the mainline?

If all architectures define
CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN or CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN,
is it possible to use this for endian test?
i.e.
Is it possible to replace like this?
#ifdef __BIG_ENDIAN -> #ifdef CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN
#ifdef __LITTLE_ENDIAN -> #ifdef CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN
