Since OPAL runs in big endian, any data being passed back and forth
via memory instead of registers needs to be byteswapped.
From my notes during development:
"A good way to find candidates is to look for vtophys() in opal_call()
parameters. The memory being passed will be written into in BE."

It's much easier to implement this in an endian-independent way when we
don't also have to worry about masking half of the dword off.
Given that this code ran on a machine that ran a poudriere bulk with no
kernel oddities, I am relatively certain it is correctly implemented. ;)
This should be a minor performance boost on BE as well.

For a body of code that had its endian conversion bits written blind without
the ability to test, moea64 was VERY close to being correct.
There were only four instances where the existing code was getting it wrong.

This is slightly stripped down from GENERIC64, as PowerMac G5 machines
are incapable of running in LE mode (so we can skip the Mac drivers.)
While technically POWER6 and POWER7 have the hardware capability of running
in LE mode, they have a tendency to trap excessively when a load/store is
misaligned. (an extremely common occurrence in LE code, and one of the main
reasons I consider BE to be superior, as it turns potential security issues
into immediately obvious mangled numbers.)
Additionally, there was no mechanism to control what endian interrupts
are delivered in, so supporting LE operation on POWER6 and POWER7 involves
some really dirty tricks in the interrupt vectors that I would rather
avoid.
IBM drew the line in the sand at POWER8 some time around 2013, embracing
full support for LE in the platform, and making a push across the board
for LE code to target POWER8 as a minimum requirement. As such, usage of
LE kernels on POWER6 and POWER7 is practically nil, despite it being
technically possible to do.
The so-called "TRUELE" feature bit which is the baseline requirement for
needed for PowerPC64LE was introduced in POWER8.

There was a small window cp was broken. Work around this by using :>
instead of cp /dev/null. Ideally, we'd keep the cp /dev/null in the
build as a regression test, but doing so breaks people that upgraded
during the cp breakage and this is simpler than bootstrapping a
working cp since there's no good __FreeBSD_version sign posts for
that.

When running without a hypervisor, we need to set the ILE bit in the LPCR
ourselves.
For the boot processor, handle it in powernv_attach() like we do for other
LPCR bits.
No change for the APs, as they will use the lpcr global to set up their own
LPCR when they do their own cpudep_ap_early_bootstrap() and pick up this
automatically.

OPAL runs in big endian, so we need to rfid into it to switch endian
atomically when branching to it, and we need to do the
RETURN_TO_NATIVE_ENDIAN dance when it returns to us.

Given that we have converted to ELFv2 for BE already, endianness is the only
difference between the two ARCHs.
As such, there is no need to differentiate LIBC_ARCH between the two.
Combining them like this lets us avoid needing to have two copies of several
bits for no good reason.

Unlike virtio, which in legacy mode is guest endian, the hypervisor vscsi
interface operates in big endian, so we must convert back and forth in several
places.
These changes are enough to attach a rootdisk.

The TCG implementation of mtmsrd in qemu blindly copies the entire register
to the MSR, instead of the specific bit positions listed in the ISA.
This means that qemu will prematurely switch endian out from under the
running code instead of waiting for the rfid, causing an immediate trap
as it attempts to interpret the next instruction in the wrong endianness.
To work around this, ensure PSL_LE is still set before doing the mtmsrd.
In the future, we may wish to just turn off translation and unconditionally
use rfid to switch to the ofmsr instead of quasi-switching to the ofmsr.
Add a new platform option so this can be disabled. (And so that we can
conditonalize additional QEMU-specific hacks in the platform code.)

Since we will need to be able to take traps relatively early in the process,
ensure that the hypervisor changes our ILE for us as soon as we are ready.

Since OFW always runs in big endian in practice, we need to convert several

This is the initial set up for PowerPC64LE.
The current plan is for this arch to remain experimental for FreeBSD 13.

On an Ampere Altra system, the physical memory is populated
sparsely within the physical address space, with only about 0.4%
of physical addresses backed by RAM in the range [0, last_pa].
This is causing the vm_reserv_array to be over-sized by a few
orders of magnitude, wasting roughly 5 GiB on a system with
256 GiB of RAM.
The sparse allocation of vm_reserv_array is controlled by defining
VM_PHYSSEG_SPARSE, with the dense allocation still remaining for
platforms with VM_PHYSSEG_DENSE.
