commit 5c00e04a1b61475a7f731f8cfede114201815e0a
Author: Mark Wielaard <mark@klomp.org>

    Implement ppc64 lxvb16x as 128-bit vector load with reversed double words.
    
    This makes it possible for memcheck to know which part of the 128bit
    vector is defined, even if the load is partly beyond an addressable block.
    
    Partially resolves bug 386945.
