Bug Description

SRU Justification:
[Impact]
Users of LE Power8 hardware might not be able to use XMON properly.

[Test Case]
# echo x > /proc/sysrq-trigger
This should put us in the xmon debugger without errors.

[Fix]
3b8a3c01096925a824ed3272601082289d9c23a5 can be cleanly cherry-picked to 3.13/3.16. It only adds cpu_to_be32 macros which shouldn't change the behavior of BE mode CPUs.

Hi Chris,

Can another track be opened for Vivid to provide the same fix there or is it preferable to just open a new bug or even necessary? Thanks.
