Subject: [PATCH] Try both endianess when checking for endianess.
Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2008 19:26:48 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080225192648.GA14357@linux-mips.org> (raw)

From: Chris Dearman <chris@mips.com>

When checking for the swap header try byteswapping the endianess dependent
fields to allow the swap partition to be shared between big & little endian
systems.
