I think we should get rid of kvmppc_is_bigendian().
As you noted in a subsequent email, it ends up returning true when run
for "little endian guests on little endian hosts", which is awkward and
the way it is used in kvmppc_handle_load() and kvmppc_handle_store()
can be improved.
I will give it a try taking into account the other comments you made.
