From: Dwayne Grant McConnell <decimal@us.ibm.com>
This patches changes /npc, /decr, /decr_status, /spu_tag_mask, 
/event_mask, /event_status, and /srr0 files to provide output according to 
the format string "0x%llx" instead of "%llx".

Before this patch some files used "0x%llx" and other used "%llx" which is 
inconsistent and potentially confusing. A user might assume "%llx" numbers 
were decimal if they happened to not contain any a-f digits. This change 
will break any code cannot tolerate a leading 0x in the file contents. The 
only known users of these files are the libspe but there might also be 
some scripts which access these files. This risk is deemed acceptable for 
future consistency.
