Btrfs: Endianess bug fix for v0.13 with kernels
Fix for a endianess BUG when using btrfs v0.13 with kernels older than 2.6.23 Problem: Has of v0.13, btrfs-progs is using crc32c.c equivalent to the one found on linux-2.6.23/lib/libcrc32c.c Since crc32c_le() changed in linux-2.6.23, when running btrfs v0.13 with older kernels we have a missmatch between the versions of crc32c_le() from btrfs-progs and libcrc32c in the kernel. This missmatch causes a bug when using btrfs on big endian machines. Solution: btrfs_crc32c() macro that when compiling for kernels older than 2.6.23, does endianess conversion to parameters and return value of crc32c(). This endianess conversion nullifies the differences in implementation of crc32c_le(). If kernel 2.6.23 or better, it calls crc32c().
