We get an array of instructions from the hypervisor via device tree that we write into a buffer that gets executed whenever we want to make an ePAPR compliant hypercall.
However, the hypervisor passes us these instructions in BE order which we have to manually convert to LE when we want to run them in LE mode. With this fixup in place, I can successfully run LE kernels with KVM PV enabled on PR KVM.
