It appears to be the fact that LLVM's PowerPC backend does not emit
efficient byteswap assembly:

Marking byteswap_pt_regs as 'noinline_for_stack' drastically reduces the
stack usage. If that is an acceptable solution, I can send it along
tomorrow.
Yeah that should be OK. Can you post the before/after disassembly when
you post the patch?
It should just be two extra function calls, which shouldn't be enough
overhead to be measurable.
