This goes on the network too? Also looks like it has endian problems.

I don't think OPA supports BE systems, and I think it uses LE on the
wire for at least some portions of its protocol.

This is a linux driver for a PCI device.

It needs to support big endian systems, that is how we do things in
Linux.

If it uses LE on the wire then mark with __le and make it sparse clean.

Do not use bitfields without providing a BE version of the bitfield.
