[PowerPC64LE] Add LOAD_LR_NIA and RETURN_TO_NATIVE_ENDIAN defines.

Browse Source 
* Add LOAD_LR_NIA define. This is preferred to "bl 1f; 1:" because it
doesn't pollute the branch predictor.

* Add magic sequence to return the CPU to the correct endianness after
jumping to cross-endian code, similar to the sequence from Linux.

/*
* Magic sequence to return to native endian.
* Overwrites r0 and r11.
*
* The encoding of the instruction "tdi 0, %r0, 0x48" in opposite endian
* happens to be "b . + 8". This is useful because we can write a sequence
* of instructions that can execute in either endian.
*
* Use a sequence of handcoded instructions that switches contexts to the
* instruction following the sequence, but with the correct PSL_LE bit.
*
* The same sequence works for both BE and LE because the xori will flip
* the bit to the other state, and the code only runs when running in the
* wrong endian.
*
* This sequence is NMI-reentrant.
