Mahesh Salgaonkar cd813e1cd7 powerpc/pseries: Fix endianness while restoring of r3 in MCE handler. 
During Machine Check interrupt on pseries platform, register r3 points
RTAS extended event log passed by hypervisor. Since hypervisor uses r3
to pass pointer to rtas log, it stores the original r3 value at the
start of the memory (first 8 bytes) pointed by r3. Since hypervisor
stores this info and rtas log is in BE format, linux should make
sure to restore r3 value in correct endian format.

Without this patch when MCE handler, after recovery, returns to code that
that caused the MCE may end up with Data SLB access interrupt for invalid
address followed by kernel panic or hang.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
