Subject: ARM: 7657/1: head: fix swapper and idmap population with LPAE and 
big-endian

From: Will Deacon <[email protected]>

commit d61947a164760ac520cb416768afdf38c33d60e7 upstream.

The LPAE page table format uses 64-bit descriptors, so we need to take
endianness into account when populating the swapper and idmap tables
during early initialisation.

This patch ensures that we store the two words making up each page table
entry in the correct order when running big-endian.
