Fix cbmem to work on 64 bit platforms
For some reason which I fail to understand, specifying endiannes using
'@' (which means 'native' and should be the same as '<' on x86
platforms) causes cbmem.py to crash the machine on 64 bit systems.
What happens is that the addresses read from various table headers'
struct representations do not make sense, when bogus address gets
passed to get_phys_mem, the crash happens while that function is
executed.
dlaurie@ found out that replacing "@" with "<" in fact fixes the
issue. After some investigation I am just submitting this fix without
much understanding of the root cause.
