This will break running BE32 binaries with "-cpu any"
(which sets all the features we know about, including
ARM_FEATURE_V7).

Huh? LE8 is SCTLR.B == 0...

This is now slightly odd to read because by definition any
CPU with the A64 instruction set won't have BE32 and A64
insns are always loaded little-endian... Still, it's a
mechanical code transform so I guess it's ok.
We can clean that up later.

Don't we need a call to bswap_code() here, since we're
telling the disassembler which endianness to assume?
