[PATCH 16/18] powerpc: Fix endianness issues in alignment handler

From: Ian Munsie <imunsie at au1.ibm.com>

This patch reverses the order of the high and low bits in the alignment
handler on little endian, which should be enough to fix any alignment
exceptions.

Please note that this patch is largely untested.
