==========================

Closing PVs which were fixed in the XFS linux port a long time
ago.
Description :
Endianess needs to be handled by XFS. Some fixes have already been
generated during the prototype. This is a large work-item. XFS should
always keep the disk in big endian format and convert using macros in the
code. For example, the networking code uses hton/ntoh (host to network and
network to host) macros.  XFS should use some similar macros. ext2 already
does this and can be used as an example.
