The associativity domain numbers are obtained from the hypervisor through registers and written into memory by the guest: the packed array passed to vphn_unpack_associativity() is then native-endian, unlike what was assumed in the following commit: commit b08a2a12 Author: Alistair Popple <alistair@popple.id.au> Date: Wed Aug 7 02:01:44 2013 +1000 powerpc: Make NUMA device node code endian safe This issue fills the topology with bogus data and makes it unusable. It may lead to severe performance breakdowns. We should ideally patch the vphn_unpack_associativity() function to do the 64-bit loads, but this requires some more brain storming. In the meantime, let's go for a suboptimal and temporary bug fix: this patch converts each 64-bit value of the packed array to big endian, as expected by the current parsing code in vphn_unpack_associativity().
