Getting rid of the x86 dependency to built vmxnet3

From: Shreyas Bhatewara <redacted>

This patch removes config dependency on x86 to build vmxnet3 driver. Thus 
the driver can be built on big endian architectures now. Although vmxnet3 
is not supported on VMs other than x86 architecture, all this code goes in 
to ensure correctness. If the code is not dependent on x86, it should not 
assume little endian architecture in any of its operations.
