+       that the permutation is being used to reorder vector elements,
+       not to reorder bytes within those elements.  
+       Unfortunatly the result order is not the expected one for powerpc
+       little endian when the two first vector parameters of vec_perm are
+       not of type 'vector char'. This is because the numbering from the
+       left for BE, and numbering from the right for LE, produces a
+       different interpretation of what the odd and even lanes are.
