ppc64le/gdbserver: Fix ppc_collect/supply_ptrace_register() routines
Commit Message
Hi,
this patch fixes the routines to collect and supply ptrace registers on ppc64le
gdbserver. Originally written for big endian arch, they were causing several
issues on little endian. With this fix, the number of unexpected failures in
the testsuite dropped from 263 to 72 on ppc64le.
Tested on ppc64{,le}. Ok?
Thanks and regards,

* linux-ppc-low.c (ppc_collect_ptrace_register): Adjust routine to take
endianness into account.
(ppc_supply_ptrace_register): Likewise.

Why not use gdbarch_byte_order here? We don't use __BYTE_ORDER anywhere
in the code.

Please leave an empty newline between the declaration of the variable
and the rest of the code.

Same applies for this chunk.
Otherwise, looks good (it's not an approval).
