This bug affects anything that uses one of the epoll* syscalls that returns 
information in the EpollEvent structure that was incorrectly defined for 
ppc64/ppc64le in golang.  Without this fix those syscalls will return incorrect 
event information, and many of the tests in fsnotify fail.  It wasn't found 
until upstream Docker hit it, but I think it could affect more than just Docker.

The fix consists only of correctly defining the data structure used by
these syscalls and only for ppc64le/ppc64 so I don't think it is very
risky.

On the other hand, I just requested it get into go 1.6.2, I think that
should go in, but I don't know what kind of time line we are talking
about for Ubuntu 16.04 golang to move to that.
