[llvm-commits] [Mips] Direct object big endian review and submittal request

[Carter, Jack]

The bigest changes are to endianize the opcode and then the fixups. I am less than thrilled
that we have to do this at this level of the compiler and not at a higher level, but that
will be a battle for another day.

I am also concerned that there seems to be an assumption that the host machine will be
little endian. Instead of checking if the target is big or little endian I would have
thought we would be asking if it was a different endian or not.
