  ---Problem Description---
  /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/partition_number and .../mad_version showing up BE on LE Ubuntu.
   
  ---uname output---
  Linux neo34 3.19.0-10-generic #10-Ubuntu SMP Mon Mar 23 16:18:35 UTC 2015 ppc64le ppc64le ppc64le GNU/Linux
   
  ---Additional Hardware Info---
  Dual VIOS, Ubuntu partition is full virtual. 

   
  ---Patches Installed---
  VMC device driver for Neo project.  Ask Steve Royer (seroyer@us) if it matters.
   
  Machine Type = type_model=8247-22L 
   
  ---Debugger---
  A debugger is not configured
   
  ---Steps to Reproduce---
   neo@neo34:/sys/class/scsi_disk$ cat /sys/module/ibmvscsi/drivers/vio\:ibmvscsi/30000006/host1/scsi_host/host1/partition_number 
  50331648
  neo@neo34:/sys/class/scsi_disk$ cat /sys/module/ibmvscsi/drivers/vio\:ibmvscsi/30000006/host1/scsi_host/host1/mad_version 
  16777216

  Turns out these numbers are really big-endian versions of their real values.
  In [60]: print("0x%x" % 50331648)
  0x3000000

  The actual partition ID of host1 is 3.
  neo@neo34:/sys/class/scsi_disk$ lssyscfg -r lpar -F lpar_id --filter lpar_names=vios2
  3
