[PATCH] powerpc/xmon: Add support for dump in reverse

This patch adds support for dumping bytes in the reverse order of
what they are read in, effectively doing an endian swap on double words.

This makes it easy to debug on a little endian system

The output of "d" on a little endian system is

0:mon> d c000000000e8bd10
c000000000e8bd10 70bde800000000c0 8428002400000000  |p........(.$....|

and with "dR"

0:mon> dR c000000000e8bd10
c000000000e8bd10 c000000000e8bd70 0000000024002884  |p........(.$....|

The patch adds "dR" only for CONFIG_PPC64. A new function digithex
is introduced which helps convert a digit to char in hex. There are
other command line tools to do byte endian swap, but I find this
useful for debugging.
