This patch allows to build tests for ppc64 little endian target
(ppc64le) on big and little endian hosts.

We add a new parameter to configure to select the endianness of the
tests (--endian=little or --endian=big).

I have built and tested big and little endian tests on a little
endian host, a big endian host, with kvm_hv and kvm_pr, and on
x86_64 with ppc64 as a TCG target.

redundant 'exit 1', usage() already has one in it

We can avoid the #if.

 LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE(r9, RTAS_MSR_MASK)
 and	r11, r11, r9

Right now we'll define RTAS_MSR_MASK to the boring value of
0xfffffffffffffffe, but presumably that'll change some day.

Patch looks fine to me, so when you fixed the two little things that
Andrew mentioned, feel free to add my Reviewed-by.
