[for-linus][PATCH 3/3] docs: bootconfig: Add the endianness of fields

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx>

Add a description about the endianness of the size and the checksum
fields. Those must be stored as le32 instead of u32. This will allow
us to apply bootconfig to the cross build initrd without caring
the endianness.
