atomic_long_t is defined from atomic64_t which on power is defined as 
struct { long counter }.

As an experiment, I tried changing perfmon_file.c to use atomic_long_read 
instead of atomic_read, and that fixed the problem.  Seeing how Power is a 
big endian machine, it makes a lot of sense why atomic_read didn't work, 
but did on x86_64.
