Hi, Russell,

It looks no other comments. I uploaded these patches to you patches
tracking system.

> The code section in BE8 kernel modules is in little-endian while data
> section is in big-endian. When reading code from memory in the relocation
> procedure, these instructions are read according to big-endian, so they are
> needed to be inverted.
