From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

perf_mem_data_src is an union that is initialized via the ->val field
and accessed via the bitmap fields. For this to work on big endian
platforms (Which is broken now), we also need a big-endian represenation
of perf_mem_data_src. i.e, in a big endian system, if user request
PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_SRC (perf report -d), will get the default value from
perf_sample_data_init(), which is PERF_MEM_NA. Value for PERF_MEM_NA
is constructed using shifts:

  /* TLB access */
  #define PERF_MEM_TLB_NA		0x01 /* not available */
  ...
  #define PERF_MEM_TLB_SHIFT	26

  #define PERF_MEM_S(a, s) \
	(((__u64)PERF_MEM_##a##_##s) << PERF_MEM_##a##_SHIFT)

  #define PERF_MEM_NA (PERF_MEM_S(OP, NA)   |\
		    PERF_MEM_S(LVL, NA)   |\
		    PERF_MEM_S(SNOOP, NA) |\
		    PERF_MEM_S(LOCK, NA)  |\
		    PERF_MEM_S(TLB, NA))

Which works out as:

  ((0x01 << 0) | (0x01 << 5) | (0x01 << 19) | (0x01 << 24) | (0x01 << 26))

Which means the PERF_MEM_NA value comes out of the kernel as 0x5080021
in CPU endian.

But then in the perf tool, the code uses the bitfields to inspect the
value, and currently the bitfields are defined using little endian
ordering.

So eg. in perf_mem__tlb_scnprintf() we see:
  data_src->val = 0x5080021
             op = 0x0
            lvl = 0x0
          snoop = 0x0
           lock = 0x0
           dtlb = 0x0
           rsvd = 0x5080021

Patch does a minimal fix of adding big endian definition of the bitfields
to match the values that are already exported by the kernel on big endian.
And it makes no change on little endian.
