I just fetched rmk/for-next as of 10/29/2013 8pm PST. I see that big
endian patch series is in. I believe conflict resolution 580dac83 in head.S
is correct. I've added typo and .align fix as in [1] to head.S and
tested BE image on TC2 in both ARM and THUMB2 modes - both boot
and look fine to me.

IMHO it would be great if we fix SCU BE A9 SMP issue separately
later, and keep BE changes that are already in rmk/for-next.

Thanks,
