If the target kernel does not inlcude the FIXUP_ENDIAN check, coming from a different-endian kernel will cause the target kernel to panic. All ppc64 kernels can handle starting in big-endian mode, so return to big-endian before branching into the target kernel.
This mainly affects pseries as secondaries on powernv are returned to OPAL.
