powerpc: Add a proper syscall for switching endianness

We currently have a "special" syscall for switching endianness. This is
syscall number 0x1ebe, which is handled explicitly in the 64-bit syscall
exception entry.

That has a few problems, firstly the syscall number is outside of the
usual range, which confuses various tools. For example strace doesn't
recognise the syscall at all.

Secondly it's handled explicitly as a special case in the syscall
exception entry, which is complicated enough without it.

As a first step toward removing the special syscall, we need to add a
regular syscall that implements the same functionality.

The logic is simple, it simply toggles the MSR_LE bit in the userspace
MSR. This is the same as the special syscall, with the caveat that the
special syscall clobbers fewer registers.

This version clobbers r9-r12, XER, CTR, and CR0-1,5-7.

I then reverted my commit in net-next, and that's why we have a merge

powerpc: Remove old compile time disabled syscall tracing code

We have code to do syscall tracing which is disabled at compile time by
default. It's not been touched since the dawn of time (ie. v2.6.12).

There are now better ways to do syscall tracing, ie. using the
raw_syscall, or syscall tracepoints.

For the specific case of tracing syscalls at boot on a system that
doesn't get to userspace, you can boot with:

trace_event=syscalls tp_printk=on

Which will trace syscalls from boot, and echo all output to the console.
