This bug has been introduced by commit:

	a536093a2f07007aa572e922752b7491b9ea8ff2

This commit fixed the big-endian case but broke the little-endian one.
This patch revert the previous change and swap the definition of
FB_BIT_NR() macro between big and little endian. It should work for
both endianess now.
I get worried when I see the word "should" in a changelog.

 This is the most obvious fix for me although it's a bit weird
 that bit ordering depend on platform endianess. I don't know
 fb code so I prefer submitting this trivial fix rather than
 breaking every thing else ;)

So that takes us back to the pre-March 31 code, which was allegedly broken
on big-endian.

And that swaps the little-endian and bit-endian implementations of
FB_BIT_NR().  So if it was previously broken on big-endian and was working
on little-endian then it's presumably now broken on little-endian and
working on big-endian.  Or something.
