PATCH 1/1 fix endianess in IEEE-1275 integer properties

Integer properties are always in big endian. This (incomplete) patch is my suggested approach to deal with this. I'd like to receive input about it before I complete it (checking all calls to grub_ieee1275_get_property through GRUB and replacing with grub_ieee1275_get_integer_property when appropiate).

Again, some testing on Apple/IBM/Genesi hardware would be nice.

It doesn't apply cleanly, and I don't see how the result of grub_ieee1275_get_integer_property() is used. I suggest that you go ahead with the changes as long as you get them right for your platform.

It doesn't apply cleanly,

It depends on my previous patch, "restrict parsing of `available'".

If something went wrong, you'd most likely see those claim-related errors you're familiar with ;-)

Ok. Checked in the first one. I'll complete the second now.

I'd like to receive input about it before I complete it (checking all calls to grub_ieee1275_get_property through GRUB and replacing with grub_ieee1275_get_integer_property when appropiate).

It looks fine to me. The Changelog entry is still missing.

All my PPC boxes do not like themselves. One died and the other also has some problems... :-/
