** Description changed:

+ [Justification]
+ ppc64-diag is a package specific to IBM POWER hardware. 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 ppc64-diag on ppc64el.
+ 
+ [Test case]
+ Proper functioning of ppc64-diag to be confirmed by IBM.
+ 
+ [Regression potential]
+ The new upstream version of ppc64-diag consists of endianness fixes, build 
system changes, miscellaneous bug fixes, and some small backwards-compatible 
new features (including a new utility, opal-dump-parse). The current package is 
of minimal utility on powerpc and is known to not work on ppc64el. Risk of 
regression is negligible.
+
