Addons bitmask is stored as array of unsigned long values. The size
of the unsigned long is same as pointer size for architecture, so it
could differ for each architecture.

To handle the endianity for adds_features bitmask, we first swap the
bitmaks as u64 values and check for HEADER_HOSTNAME bit. If not set we
want to unswap the u64 values and swap the adds_features as u32 values.

This is currently buggy, since we swap just first 32bits of each u64
value. Adding swap of the next 32 bits as well. Also adding& using
BITS_TO_U64 instead of BITS_TO_LONGS as counter max due to the different
size of unsigned longs per architecture.

Note, running following to test perf endianity handling:
- origin system:
# perf record -a -- sleep 10 (any perf record will do)
# perf report> report.origin
# perf archive perf.data

- copy the perf.data, report.origin and perf.data.tar.bz2
to a target system and run:
# tar xjvf perf.data.tar.bz2 -C ~/.debug
# perf report> report.target
# diff -u report.origin report.target

- the diff should produce no output
(besides some white space stuff and possibly different
date/TZ output)

Did you cross bitness and architectures in your test? When I added the code you are modifying I verified it worked by analyzing 32-bit PPC files on 64-bit x86 and 32-bit x86.

Did you also test old versus new perf commands? perf data collected with older command and analyzed with a newer version with this patch? Be sure to add the -I switch to get all the processing of the feature mask.
