a u64 when the instruction is prefixed, so we can pass the u64 down to
__put_user_asm() and write it with a single store.

This is a bit awkward because the value differs based on the CPU
endianness, so add a helper to do the conversion.

I booted a BE and LE kernel - test_prefixed_patching() worked on both.
Also on BE and LE kernels I put optprobes on prefixed and non prefixed
instructions.
The correct value was passed via r4 to emulate_step().
