The perf_event_attr struct has 2 __u32's at the top and need to be swapped individually. With this change I was able to analyze a perf.data collected in a 32-bit PPC VM on an x86 system. I tested both 32-bit and 64-bit binaries for the Intel analysis side; both read the PPC perf.data file correctly.
