On little-endian 32-bit application running on 64-bit kernels,
the current vdso would read the wrong half of the xtime seconds
field. Change it to return the lower half like it does on
big-endian.
ppc64le doesn't have 32-bit compat so this is only theoretical.
That is probably true. I only looked at the kernel, which today still
supports compat mode for ppc64le, but I saw the patches to disable
it, and I don't think anyone has even attempted building user space
for it.
