Log Message:
Improve kernel image magic (Luke T. Shumaker)
Detect the kernel version number into 3 classes:
- <v3.17
- >=v3.17, <v4.15
- >=v4.15

Besides just detecting BE/LE, distinguish between BE-8 and BE-32 (if we
can, requires kernel >=v3.17).  Note that BE-32 is an old ARMv5 thing,
and that BE-8 is a modern ARMv6+ thing.
