[Powerpc-utils-devel] [patch 1/1] amsvis: fix device object sorting

[Robert J. <rc...@li...>]

The amsvis command will fail if vio devices have addresses greater than
30000009 due to a problem with hexidecimal values attempting to be sorted
as long integers.  This patch changes the sort to use string comparisions.
