Hi folks,

Big-endian support on arm64 (CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN) has depended on
BROKEN since 1cf89b6bf660 ("arm64: Kconfig: Make CPU_BIG_ENDIAN depend
on BROKEN") and has already seen some clean-up patches removing some of
the unused support code (e.g. 5276ea17a23c ("lib/crc: arm64: Assume a
little-endian kernel")).

Finish the job, and remove the remaining big-endian support code from
arm64. Note that the SETEND emulation for 32-bit tasks remains and so
some of the mixed-endian EL0 helpers are retained.
