This doesn't look quite right to me, but unfortunately I'm going be spending
most (all?) of today trying to catch a flight out of the UK. Hopefully Dave
or Ben can investigate further, but comments below.

There are new halfword accesses here without any conditional revs.

Since that orr with shift has been removed, I think the masks for the BE
case are now incorrect...

...which seems to be confirmed by the updated LE code (everything is off
by a byte).

Somebody should probably sit down with the conflicting patch and port the BE
changes over. I think the relevant patch is "ARM: mm: Correct virt_to_phys
patching for 64 bit physical addresses". In fact, looking at *that* patch,
it's *also* broken for BE! It adds the following to head.S:

+#ifdef __ARMEB_
+#define LOW_OFFSET     0x4
+#define HIGH_OFFSET    0x0
+#else
+#define LOW_OFFSET     0x0
+#define HIGH_OFFSET    0x4
+#endif

(spot the missing underscore).

So I guess that means somebody should test whatever the resulting merge
ends up being too...
