A bug exist with the gcc compilers for Power in versions 6.x and 7.x 
(verified with 6.3 and 7.4). It was fixed in version 8.x (verified with 
8.3). I was using a Power 9 ppc64le machine for building and testing.

It appears the compiler is generating the wrong code for little endian 
machines for the vec_lvsl/vec_perm instruction combos in some cases. If 
these instructions are replaced with vec_xl, the problem goes away for 
all versions of the compilers (plus it is a bit faster).

Fixes #7124 and can be reproduced within the docker by following the 
instructions within the ticket.

Hi,

This change uses VSX code in a function marked Altivec, aka it makes it
not work on pre-power7 (macs, etc). As such I would've NAK'd it.

Please send a patch.

Atm, I only have access to power7 and newer.
