Shreyas Bhatewara	115924b6bd	net: Getting rid of the x86 dependency to built vmxnet3 ... 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. Signed-off-by: Shreyas Bhatewara <sbhatewara@vmware.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
