Ok, since the complete set which switches to the atomic helper is not
stable material (and also won't make it into 4.7 anymore), I created a
seperate bugfix now:
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2016-June/109625.html

What I don't quite get yet is the REGCACHE_FLAT influencing the
endianness behavior?

If it is, Meng, can you test again with v4.7-rc1 + the FLAT cache patch
above?
