commit 3b8a3c01096925a824ed3272601082289d9c23a5 upstream.

On pseries system (LPAR) xmon failed to enter when running in LE mode,
system is hunging. Inititating xmon will lead to such an output on the
console:

cpu 0x15: Exception 300 (Data Access) in xmon, returning to main loop
xmon: WARNING: bad recursive fault on cpu 0x15

The root cause is that xmon is calling RTAS to turn off the surveillance
when entering xmon, and RTAS is requiring big endian parameters.

This patch is byte swapping the RTAS arguments when running in LE mode.
