I think this patch is OK, but until I get a chance to test it on a
big-endian machine (PowerBook G4 Titanium), please do not apply it.

When I tried the patch, I discovered some kind of regression that
causes a kernel oops with an RTL8192CU device installed. This patch
is not the problem, but I will need to bisect the oops before I can
test. The machine takes a long time to build each kernel, thus it
will probably be a while.

Any word on this?  The patch doesn't look like it should be causing
such problems...?

I have not ywt solved the PPC crash. Unfortunately, thos processors are finicky 
and my debugging skills on that architecture are quite low. Go ahaed any apply 
this patch.
