I did follow the existing patterns, I think they are legitimate. Can you clarify what you think is a bug in the current state? I always feel a bit flaky when it comes to properly handling endianness, so all feedback welcome, if you have any hints of what should be fixed after this patch, I'll do it. Thanks, Miquèl

There is no bug that addresses are stored as little endian, but there is a bug doing a conversion when it's not necessary. In this example, so far I see, big endian does a byteswap here. And as you figured there will be less byteswaps when it's stored as little endian. Consider this in netlink, that we store things as it is on wire (or in our case on air/wireless). - Alex

All right so the __le16/__le64 variables are the right thing to do. Thanks for the validation. Thanks, Miquèl
