The selftest I recently added to test branching to an out-of-bounds
NIP doesn't work on 64-bit big endian. It does fail but not in the
right way. That is it SEGVs trying to load from the opd at BAD_NIP,
but it never gets as far as branching to BAD_NIP.
To fix it we need to create an opd which is reachable but which holds
the bad address.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
