[PATCH] pseries/le: Fix endiannes issue in RTAS call from xmon

[Laurent Dufour]

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:

SysRq : Entering xmon

    pid   = 14617, comm = bash
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.
