[PATCH 2/4]bnx2x: PCI configuration bug on big-endian

From: Eilon Greenstein <hidden>
Date: 2008-11-03 16:11:32
Subsystem: networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

The current code read nothing but zeros on big-endian (wrong part of the
32bits). This caused poor performance on big-endian machines. Though this
issue did not cause the system to crash, the performance is significantly
better with the fix so I view it as critical bug fix.
