That's for the VDSO32 ie running 32 bits binaries on a 64 bits kernel.

"Programming Environments Manual for 32-Bit Implementations of the 
PowerPC™ Architecture" say: In some implementations operating with 
little-endian byte order, execution of an lmw or stmw instruction
causes the system alignment error handler to be invoked

And GCC doesn't like it either:

tools/arch/powerpc/vdso/vgetrandom-chacha.S:84: Error: `stmw' invalid 
when little-endian
