Here are a number of little endian fixes found during testing of
2.6.13-*. Some of the interesting things:

A patch from Uli that fixes a nasty bug in PTRACE_PEEKUSR, basically
we always get FPR0 no matter which one we ask for.

Also included is a fix for the pseries NVRAM code, without it we
corrupt NVRAM and end up with particular hard to fix issues, since
we don't have easy ways to edit the contents of NVRAM.

Fixed other endian issues in crash dump, lparcfg and MSI code.
