I don't know - it works for me, at least I have seen no data corruption
yet.
What the patch does is introduce generic disk<->cpu conversion macros
everywhere. My guess is that they not only provide correct endianness,
but also fix other machine-dependent type issues.
Try it, and call me whatever you want if it fails.
