powerpc: Fix Unaligned Loads and Stores
This patch modifies the unaligned access routines of the sstep.c module so that it properly reverses the bytes of storage operands in the little endian kernel kernel. This is implemented by breaking an unaligned little endian access into a combination of single byte accesses plus an overal byte reversal operation.
