[PATCH 1/6] ARM: fix be8 support for phys/virt address conversion

phys_to_virt() and virt_to_phys() is implemented by one assembler instruction,
add/sub an offset between the physical and virtual address. For some arm machines
with CONFIG_ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT defined, this offset is unknown at compile time,
it is calculated dynamically at run time and then patched to the add/sub instruction.
To support BE8 mode, firstly we need to convert the instruntion to big-endian after
loading it from the memory, and then modify its offset field, at last convert it to
little-endian and write it back to the memory.
