On VSX capable CPUs, the 32 FP registers are mapped to the high-bits
of the 32 first VSX registers. So if you have:
VSR31 = (uint128) 0x0102030405060708090a0b0c0d0e0f00
then
FPR31 = (uint64) 0x0102030405060708
The kernel stores the VSX registers in the fp_state struct following the
host endian element ordering.
On big-endian:
fp_state.fpr[31][0] = 0x0102030405060708
fp_state.fpr[31][1] = 0x090a0b0c0d0e0f00
On little-endian:
fp_state.fpr[31][0] = 0x090a0b0c0d0e0f00
fp_state.fpr[31][1] = 0x0102030405060708
The KVM_GET_ONE_REG and KVM_SET_ONE_REG ioctls preserve this ordering, but
QEMU considers it as big-endian and always copies element [0] to the
fpr[] array and element [1] to the vsr[] array. This does not work with
little-endian hosts, and you will get:
(qemu) p $f31
0x90a0b0c0d0e0f00
instead of:
(qemu) p $f31
0x102030405060708
This patch fixes the element ordering for little-endian hosts.
