Due to enter_idle_powerx fabricating a MSR from scratch, it is necessary
for it to care about the endianness, so we don't accidentally switch
endian the first time we idle a thread.
Took about five seconds to spot after seeing an unmangled backtrace.
The hard bit was needing to temporarily set up a mutex to sort out the
logjam that happens when every thread simultaneously wakes up in the wrong
endian due to the panic IPI and panics, leaving what I can best describe as
"alphabet soup" on the console.
Luckily, I already had a patch sitting around to do that.
This brings POWER8 up to equivilence with POWER9 on PPC64LE.
