#476: Manufacturing data values are in the wrong order

The string values within the manufacturing data on the B1 machines are
reversed, with the first character at the highest address. The spec
(http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Manufacturing_Data) says:
Store text strings with the first character at the lowest address, null
terminated.
This should be corrected for the next build. For the machines that have
already been built, we will fix the manufacturing data by reversing the
values, using an Open Firmware program that will be part of an OS update
tool.
