    Laurent Dufour authored
    On pseries system (LPAR) xmon failed to enter when running in LE mode,
    system is hunging. Inititating xmon will lead to such an output on the
    console:

    cpu 0x15: Exception 300 (Data Access) in xmon, returning to main loop
    xmon: WARNING: bad recursive fault on cpu 0x15
    
    The root cause is that xmon is calling RTAS to turn off the surveillance
    when entering xmon, and RTAS is requiring big endian parameters.
    
    This patch is byte swapping the RTAS arguments when running in LE mode.
