The patch was made by Vikas Chaudhary <vikas.chaudhary@xxxxxxxxxx> 
(CC:d) and sent to me by private me-mail. I was first dubious about 
possible endianness problem with qla4xxx private readq and writeq 
implementation but he told they forcefully tested it on PPC64 and it 
worked.

Last I heard from him on September 6th when he wrote he intended to push 
the patch upstream together with other patches the same week.
