[PATCH] arm: support big-endian for the virt architecture

From: Jason@zx2c4.com (Jason A. Donenfeld)
Date: 2018-09-26 13:51:23
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: arm port, the rest · Maintainers: Russell King, Linus Torvalds

This architecture, used for running in QEMU, runs just fine when
compiled in big-endian mode. So enable it. This is enabled in exactly
the same way that it is for other platforms (such as vexpress) that also
support big-endian mode in QEMU successfully.

Personally, I'm using this as part of WireGuard's CI, and patching
kernels to include this is a bit annoying. Any chance this can get into
4.19?
