I looked at all the regression test diffs for each of the servers you
mentioned and I verified that the diffs match on each of the 7
servers.

Maybe the best solution is to pull those tests out of
partition_prune.sql then create partition_prune_hash and just have an
alternative .out file with the partitions which match on bigendian
machines.

We could also keep them in the same file, but that's a much bigger
alternative file to maintain and more likely to get broken if someone
forgets to update it.

What do you think?
