In big-endian mode, stlxp would not only store the individual doublewords big-endian but also swap them in memory. This does not correspond to how ldxp behaves nor how native code expects the result of stlxp to be stored in memory.
Also, when comparing if the values in memory still match what was previously loaded by ldxp, stlxp would also swap the values loaded from memory, making the comparison against the previously loaded value fail always. With this change an aarch64_be Linux 4.14.4 kernel succeeds to boots up in system emulation mode. This change makes paired_cmpxchg64 helpers differ only in endianness handling. It might be possible to fold them into a single routine using variables and function pointers or get rid of them completely in favour of tcg_gen_-routines. Both is currently beyond my skill level, though.
