[PATCH] powerpc/powernv: Fix endian issues in memory error handling code

struct OpalMemoryErrorData is passed to us from firmware, so we
have to byteswap it.

Having enums in a firmware interface concerns me, but that cleanup
can be in a subsequent patch.

Mahesh, could you give this a test to see if it works?
