    powerpc: Reverse stack frame marker on little endian · 19c95df1
    Michael Ellerman authored
    On little endian the stack frame marker appears reversed when dumping
    memory sequentially, as is typical in xmon or gdb, eg:
    
      c000000004733e40 0000000000000000 0000000000000000  |................|
      c000000004733e50 0000000000000000 0000000000000000  |................|
      c000000004733e60 0000000000000000 0000000000000000  |................|
      c000000004733e70 5347455200000000 0000000000000000  |SGER............|
      c000000004733e80 a700000000000000 708897f7ff7f0000  |........p.......|
      c000000004733e90 0073428fff7f0000 208997f7ff7f0000  |.sB..... .......|
      c000000004733ea0 0100000000000000 ffffffffffffffff  |................|
      c000000004733eb0 0000000000000000 0000000000000000  |................|
    
    To make it easier to recognise, reverse the value on little endian, so
    it always appears as "REGS", eg:
    
      c000000004733e70 5245475300000000 0000000000000000  |REGS............|
