+If the target kernel does not inlcude the FIXUP_ENDIAN check, coming
+from a different-endian kernel will cause the target kernel to panic.
+All ppc64 kernels can handle starting in big-endian mode, so return to
+big-endian before branching into the target kernel.
+
+This mainly affects pseries as secondaries on powernv are returned to
+OPAL.

+Subject: [PATCH 7/9] powerpc/kexec: Reset HILE before kexec_sequence
+
+On powernv secondary cpus are returned to OPAL, and will then enter
+the target kernel in big-endian. However if it is set the HILE bit
+will persist, causing the first exception in the target kernel to be
+delivered in litte-endian regardless of the current endianess.
+
+If running on top of OPAL make sure the HILE bit is reset once we've
+finished waiting for all of the secondaries to be returned to OPAL.
