csum_partial() gives different results for little-endian and big-endian hosts. This causes images created on little-endian hosts and mounted on big endian hosts to see csum mismatches. This causes an endianness bug. Sparse gives a warning as csum_partial returns a restricted integer type __wsum_t and xattr_hash expects __u32. This warning acts as a reminder for this bug and should not be suppressed. This comment aims to convey these endianness issues.
