      ^^ switches                   ^^ accessors

and does the cpu to big endian conversion of constants. This helps in
generating better code.

For ex: a pgd_none(pgd) check with and without fix is listed below

Without fix:
------------
   2240:	20 00 61 eb 	ld      r27,32(r1)
/* PGD level */
typedef struct { __be64 pgd; } pgd_t;
static inline unsigned long pgd_val(pgd_t x)
{
	return be64_to_cpu(x.pgd);

    2244:	22 00 66 78 	rldicl  r6,r3,32,32
    2248:	3e 40 7d 54 	rotlwi  r29,r3,8

    226c:	54 03 9e 41 	beq     cr7,25c0 <__get_user_pages_fast+0x500>

With fix:

    2374:	00 00 bd 2f 	cmpdi   cr7,r29,0
