err vs. host_err was pretty much the main reason for that series - we kept
getting bugs in that area and sparse can handle that sort of checks just
fine.

Folks, seriously, please run sparse after changes; it's a simple matter of
make C=2 CF=-D__CHECK_ENDIAN__ fs/nfs*/; nothing tricky and it saves a lot
of potential PITA...
