This patch allows the endianness of the JFSS2 filesystem to be
specified by config options.

It defaults to native-endian (the previously hard-coded option).

Some architectures benefit from having a single known endianness
of JFFS2 filesystem (for data, not executables) independent of the
endianness of the processor (ARM processors can be switched to either
endianness at run-time).

This patch is taken from:
