[PATCH] powerpc/le: fix endianness of the arguments passed to the ppc_rtas() syscall

RTAS manipulates its input and output arguments in big endian order. I have looked at factoring some lines with rtas_call() but it is not really worth it because of the variable arguments. Signed-off-by: Greg Kurz gk...@linux.vnet.ibm.com --- arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas.c | 15 +-- 1

[PATCH] powerpc/le: big endian arguments for ppc_rtas()

to RTAS, it is far better to stick with a simple rationale: ppc_rtas() should be called with a big endian rtas_args structure. With this patch, it is now up to userspace to forge big endian arguments, as expected by RTAS. Signed-off-by: Greg Kurz gk...@linux.vnet.ibm.com --- Ben, The chunk

[PATCH] powerpc/le: enable RTAS events support
