I couldn't even make a filesystem on sparc64 without the following
patch.

The first problem is that these SETGET macros lose typing information,
and therefore can't see the 'packed' attribute and therefore take
unaligned access SIGBUS signals on sparc64 when trying to derefernce
the member.

The next problem is a similar issue in btrfs_name_hash().  This gets
passed things like &key.offset which is a member of a packed
structure, losing this packed'ness information btrfs_name_hash()
performs a potentially unaligned memory access, again resulting in a
SIGBUS.

This function never returns an error, so the simplest fix was to
return the hash value which avoids all of the issues.  In attempting
other schemes to fix this, I found it very difficult to give gcc
a packed attribute for that "u64 *" argument other than to create
some new pseudo structure which would have been ugly.

Similar code lives in the btrfs kernel code too, I'll try to get a
partition at least mounted and working minimally and if successful
I'll send you patches for that too.
