I'm not against it, and I agree some of the patches seem like good
clean up.  I'm concerned about this bit rotting pretty quickly.

Maybe. Most of it doesn't seem to be that bit-rottable.

The changes to the asm stuff in misc_32.S for example are functions we
never ever touch once written (libgcc replacements) so I don't see them
rotting more with LE support than they did with BE :-)

Does KVM/qemu support running LE guest on BE host? That'd help keeping
the bitrot lower. :)
