Stop sending me this patch. I've rejected it before, for good reason.
Remember: I don't reject patches just because I drop them. I often reject
patches because they are obviously bad. This is one.
If you want to send me a patch to clean it up, make sure that it doesn't
generate ridiculously more code on the 99% of Linux machines that have a
sane byte order.
Solutions I can accept:
- move it into byteorder.h and make it dependent on the byte order
- use "cpu_to_le32()" instead of ntohl() so that the common case doesn't
have extra overhead.
