[PATCH 12/17] ARM: fix magic for bootloader in BE8

If the boot-loader is running little endian and the kernel is compiled
big endian then it will not verify the magic number of the front of the
kernel.
Note, do we need to also reverse the two values after the magic, or are
they used later on in the kernel decompressor?
