It's not the only big-endian target but it is the only target I know of where
the order of vector elements doesn't match LLVM-IR's order. MIPS and ARM both
have big-endian modes but vectors are 0-element first in both endians whereas
big-endian PowerPC is highest-indexed element first. If I hadn't handled this
then we'd read/write their vectors in reversed element order every time we
tried to copy memory to/from an LLVM-IR value.
MIPS and ARM's vector layout has a different quirk on LLVM-IR/memory which is
that bitcast isn't a no-op, it's a shuffle (which bytes swaps depends on the
types involved). This is because it's defined as a store of the original type
followed by a load of the new type. I haven't implemented this yet because I
didn't need to support vector bitcast.
