OpenJDK7 port to the little endian PowerPC64

[Alexander Smundak]

I haven't done this before, and I don't have an account on openjdk, so
I had to ask my coworker to upload the webrevs. The one for the
hotspot is at http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~rasbold/ppc64le/hotspot/webrev.00,
and the one for jdk is at
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~rasbold/ppc64le/jdk/webrev.00
The change for the jdk/ is small, but the change for the hotspot/ is
fairly large and I am willing to break it into pieces if you say so.
Oh, and can you create a bug ID for this?
