Architecture 2.07 defines a new MSR Split Little Endian (SLE) bit,
which changes the order used for data storage accesses.
If MSR[SLE] is 0, instruction and data storage accesses for the
thread are the same and use the value specified by MSR[LE].
If MSR[SLE] is 1, instruction and data storage accesses for the
thread are opposite. Instruction storage accesses use the value
specified by MSR[LE]. Data storage accesses use the value specified
by ~MSR[LE].
The table below illustrates the Endian modes for all combinations
of MSR[SLE] and MSR[LE].
SLE LE Data Instruction
0 0 Big Big
0 1 Little Little
1 0 Little Big
1 1 Big Little

This is clearly a powerpc patch but the following patch is for
kvm-ppc and it depends on it. I am not sure how to handle the
patch serie. Should I send to [email protected] also ?
Thanks,
C.
