We have ELFv2 ABI / function descriptors iff big-endian so you could
just select based on that.

I have a patch that makes the ABI version configurable which cleans
some of this up a bit, but that can be rebased on your series if we
ever merge it. Maybe just add BUILD_BUG_ONs in the above ifdef block
to ensure CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_DESCRIPTORS was set the right way, so
I don't forget.

Thanks,
Nick
