    Userspace ARM BE8 support · d8fd2954

    Add support for ARM BE8 userspace binaries.
    i.e. big-endian data and little-endian code.
    In principle LE8 mode is also possible, but AFAIK has never actually
    been implemented/used.
    
    System emulation doesn't have any useable big-endian board models,
    but should in principle work once you fix that.
    Dynamic endianness switching requires messing with data accesses,
    preferably with TCG cooperation, and is orthogonal to BE8 support.

    [PMM: various changes, mostly as per my suggestions in code review:
     * rebase
     * use EF_ defines rather than hardcoded constants
     * make bswap_code a bool for future VMSTATE macro compatibility
     * update comment in cpu.h about TB flags bit field usage
     * factor out load-code-and-swap into arm_ld*_code functions and
       get_user_code* macros
     * fix stray trailing space at end of line
     * added braces in disas.c to satisfy checkpatch
