[Btrfs-devel] CRC32C big endian bugs...

[David Miller]

The CRC32C implementation in the btrfs progs is different from the one
in the kernel, so obviously nothing can possibly work on big-endian.

This is getting less and less fun by the minute, I simply wanted to
test btrfs on Niagara :-/

Here is a patch to fix that:
