[PATCH 6/6] ARM: support kernel modules in BE8 mode

From: Stanley.Miao <stanley.miao at windriver.com>

In BE8 mode, data must be manipulated in big endian format while
text must be little endian. Therefore, when relocating the text
section of module in BE8 mode, we must convert the location offset
of the text to big endian from the native little endian. After
the relocation is complete, the location offset value is re-written
as little endian.
