If we are booting in LE and compiled for BE8, then add code to
set the state to bE8. Since the instruction stream is always LE,
we do not need to do anything special to the instruction.

Also ensure that the secondary processors are started in the same mode.

Note, we do add about 20 bytes to the kernel image, but it seems easier
to do this than adding another configuration to change.

I find the comment here slightly confusing as it makes it sound like the
macro expands to nothing if we're BE8 (which is clearly not the case).

Alignment issue here -- please try to align the instruction with the
instructions below (it's awkward to read with all the brackets).

Any reason to have three different comments for the same thing? I think you
probably just need to comment the one in head.S.

I've changed it to "go BE8 if compiled for BE8"

If I move it one to the left, then it gets coloured blue by
my editor, as it is the first thing on the line like the
ENTRY() macro.

I've changed the comments to match in.
