My point is to make it work, nothing more and nothing less. Of course, it
doesn't *have* to be slow on little endian if the ntohl macro is properly
written so that gcc can combine the shifts inside and outside of it.
I know this, and I sent your original patch to Linus long ago, and I
am telling you his response and his reasoning. At least I gave you a
suggestion for an implementation which would have a greater chance at
accpetance :-)
