From: Laurent Dufour <ldufour@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Subject: [PATCH] kexec/fs2dt : Fix endianess issue with initrd base and size
Date: Fri, 11 Apr 2014 12:10:30 +0200
Git-commit: db3c32babc5279816344be8210ca91a64331f0fe
References: bnc#873169
Signed-off-by: Tony Jones <tonyj@suse.de>

The initrd values exposed in the device tree of the kexeced kernel must be
encoded in Big Endian format.

Without this patch, kexeced LE kernel are expected to panic when dealing
with the initrd image.
