From: Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com>

It's been deprecated since two releases, so it should be fine to
remove this now. Users can use the qemu-system-microblaze binary
instead that can handle both endiannesses now.

Isn't this to test the qemu-microblazeel user-mode binary?

Oops, yes, I guess so ... so this hunk has to be removed from the patch, 
thanks for spotting it!
