Oh, sorry about that. Ok, you should have in both 2.6.25 and .26 the patch with
upstream commit id e8e7b9eb11c34ee18bde8b7011af41938d1ad667. I rediffed the new
one on top, here's the 2.6.26 version, the 2.6.25 one follows.

Aesthetic regards aside, commit e8e7b9eb11c34ee18bde8b7011af41938d1ad667
still leaves a bug in the error message, because it uses the unconverted
big-endian value for printk.

Fix this by using a local variable in machine byte order. The result is
correct, more readable, and also produces slightly shorter code on i386.
