More perf bitfield fun

Other bitfields in the perf interface continue to cause trouble.
See this recent proposed patch: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/8/10/154
that tries to sanely provide access to perf_mem_data_src on both big and little endian systems.

There's got to be a better way of doing this, but it's likely too late.
