[ubuntu- 14.10] librtas: fixes for LE support

[bugproxy]

[Justification]
librtas is an interface to a hardware management system specific to IBM POWER servers. It is built for Ubuntu's powerpc and ppc64el architectures. However, the version in Ubuntu 14.04 lacks full support for running on a little-endian host (ppc64el); and because powerpc is a 32-bit host OS its usage on IBM POWER servers is minimal. This is a hardware-enablement SRU to fix behavior of librtas on ppc64el.

[Test case]
Proper functioning of librtas to be confirmed by IBM.

[Regression potential]
The new upstream version of librtas includes endianness fixes and new APIs. The current package is of minimal utility on powerpc and is known to not work on ppc64el. Risk of regression is negligible.

---Problem Description---
Please include these additional patches to fix support for LE.

Machine Type = POWER8

Userspace tool common name: rtas_errd

Userspace package: librtas

Please pull below patchset from upstream.

    When we pass _hi and _lo 32bits of a 64bit value, we
    should convert the host endian value carefully.

    i.e,
            X_hi = htobe32(BITS32_HI(X))
            X_lo = htobe32(BITS32_LO(X))

    and not :
            X_hi = BITS32_HI(htobe64(X))

    NOTE: This patch is untested, but I believe this patch
    is good to have than the current faulty conversion.

    This patch fixes all such occurrences in librtas.

    This patch fixes the conversion of args for paltform-dump call.
    platform dump passes 64bit values as, a pair of 32bit values.
    val_hi and val_lo. So when we convert a value 'X' to 32bit hi and lo
    values in BE, we should follow the below approach :

    X_hi = htobe32(BITS32_HI(X))
    X_lo = htobe32(BITS32_LO(X))

    and NOT
    X_tmp = htobe64(X);
    X_hi = BITS32_HI(X_tmp), X_lo = BITS32_LO(X_tmp)

    This patch has been tested with rtas_errd/extract_platdump to retrieve a
    dump from FSP.

I have just verified and the packages can be found in proposed for both
14.04 and 14.10. So it looks good for both repositories.
Thus we are now just awaiting for the final testing by the RAS team.
