Based on Jiri's latest attempt:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/16/61

Basically, adds_features should be byte swapped assuming unsigned
longs are either 8-bytes (u64) or 4-bytes (u32).

    Fixes 32-bit ppc dumping 64-bit x86 feature data:
     ========
     captured on: Sun May 20 19:23:23 2012
     hostname : nxos-vdc-dev3
     os release : 3.4.0-rc7+
     perf version : 3.4.rc4.137.g978da3

     cpuid : GenuineIntel,6,26,5
     total memory : 24680324 kB
    ...

Verified 64-bit x86 can still dump feature data for 32-bit ppc.

When merged to Linus's latest tree the perf build is broken
due to following change in lib/rbtree.c object:

  lib: reduce the use of module.h wherever possible
  commit 8bc3bcc93a2b4e47d5d410146f6546bca6171663
  Author: Paul Gortmaker &lt;paul.gortmaker@windriver.com&gt;
  Date:   Wed Nov 16 21:29:17 2011 -0500

We need to move module.h header into export.h.

<title>bitops: rename for_each_set_bit_cont() in favor of analogous list.h function</title>

This renames for_each_set_bit_cont() to for_each_set_bit_from() because
it is analogous to list_for_each_entry_from() in list.h rather than
list_for_each_entry_continue().

This doesn't remove for_each_set_bit_cont() for now.

Upstream glibc commit 295e904 added a definition for __attribute_const__
to cdefs.h.  This causes the following error when building perf:

util/include/linux/compiler.h:8:0: error: "__attribute_const__"
redefined [-Werror] /usr/include/sys/cdefs.h:226:0: note: this is the
location of the previous definition

Wrap __attribute_const__ in #ifndef as we do for __always_inline.

Commit e66eed651fd1 ("list: remove prefetching from regular list
iterators") removed the include of prefetch.h from list.h, which
uncovered several cases that had apparently relied on that rather
obscure header file dependency.

So this fixes things up a bit, using

   grep -L linux/prefetch.h $(git grep -l '[^a-z_]prefetchw*(' -- '*.[ch]')
   grep -L 'prefetchw*(' $(git grep -l 'linux/prefetch.h' -- '*.[ch]')

to guide us in finding files that either need &lt;linux/prefetch.h&gt;
inclusion, or have it despite not needing it.

There are more of them around (mostly network drivers), but this gets
many core ones.

obscure header file dependency.

So this fixes things up a bit, using

   grep -L linux/prefetch.h $(git grep -l '[^a-z_]prefetchw*(' -- '*.[ch]')
   grep -L 'prefetchw*(' $(git grep -l 'linux/prefetch.h' -- '*.[ch]')

to guide us in finding files that either need &lt;linux/prefetch.h&gt;
inclusion, or have it despite not needing it.

There are more of them around (mostly network drivers), but this gets
many core ones.
