[LNG] [PATCH] ARM: traps: fix opcode endianness when read from user memory

[Victor Kamensky]

Taras, it looks good. Did you submit it into Russell's patch system? It
would be good to have this fix in main line tree.

Anyone, is there any concerns about this patch? It is quite simple
change.

Thanks,
Victor
