Actually this needs to be done together with patch 2, or you
get a build failure if this one is not yet applied.

This seems to introduce a bug, and should produce an "sparse" warning
about a u32 being passed into a function expecting a __le32.

The other bug I originally tried to address here is the way an indirect
pointer is converted to a 'u32' pointer, which won't work on 64-bit
architectures when pointers are wider than u32. Maybe at least put a
comment here that this is a known deficiency.
