Indeed. I'll change that.

That won't be easily doable however.

Not only the endianness of the individual fields in the descriptor
changes, but changing the endianness also swaps the fields themselves
by pair of u32.

You can see that here:
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/dma/mv_xor.h#L159

So I'm guessing that leaving it like it is was the more readable
solution.

Will do.

Thanks!
