bisected regression: qla2xxx endianness on sparc64

[Meelis Roos]

Between 3.17 and 3.18-rc2, qla2xxx is broken on my sparc64 machines. It 
fails to boot (hangs in firmware rings init).

This is the result of bisect:

98aee70d19a7e3203649fa2078464e4f402a0ad8 is the first bad commit
commit 98aee70d19a7e3203649fa2078464e4f402a0ad8

This may not be the only problem - when bisecting, I also came to commits 
that got past this step but hang after about 165 seconds of uptime while 
running userspace startup scripts. But let that be another issue at the 
moment.
