 * Check if thread endianness is flipped inadvertently to BE on trap
 * caught in TM whilst MSR.FP and MSR.VEC are zero (i.e. just after
 * load_fp and load_vec overflowed).
 *
 * The issue can be checked on LE machines simply by zeroing load_fp
 * and load_vec and then causing a trap in TM. Since the endianness
 * changes to BE on return from the signal handler, 'nop' is
 * thread as an illegal instruction in following sequence:
 *	tbegin.
 *	beq 1f
 *	trap
 *	tend.
 * 1:	nop
 *
 * However, although the issue is also present on BE machines, it's a
 * bit trickier to check it on BE machines because MSR.LE bit is set
 * to zero which determines a BE endianness that is the native
 * endianness on BE machines, so nothing notably critical happens,
 * i.e. no illegal instruction is observed immediately after returning
 * from the signal handler (as it happens on LE machines). Thus to test
 * it on BE machines LE endianness is forced after a first trap and then
 * the endianness is verified on subsequent traps to determine if the
 * endianness "flipped back" to the native endianness (BE).
