It's not an endian warning, it's an endian bug.  This code won't
work on big endian systems.  Don't mix bugfixes and other changes.

Probably at some point someone will be updating their kernel for
an embedded platform and they'll do a "git log --pretty=oneline" and
they'll notice your endian fix and decide it's super important to
them.  Right now it's hard to find.
