[PATCH] powerpc: Make unaligned accesses endian-safe for powerpc

[Rajesh B Prathipati]

From: Rajesh B Prathipati <rprathip@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The generic put_unaligned/get_unaligned macros were made endian-safe by 
calling the appropriate endian dependent macros based on the endian type 
of the powerpc processor.
