[PATCH] befs: Don't pass huge structs by value.

[Jesper Juhl]

Hi there,

'struct befs_disk_data_stream' is huge (~144 bytes) and it's being passed 
by value in fs/befs/endian.h::cpu_to_fsrun().

It seems to me that it would be better to pass a pointer, no?
This patch changes the function to take a pointer to the large struct.
