We also need to revert b3b77c8caef1750ebeea1054e39e358550ea9f55 ("endian:
#define __BYTE_ORDER") in order to get rid of the other warning I pointed out:

In file included from fs/jfs/jfs_types.h:33,
                 from fs/jfs/jfs_incore.h:26,
                 from fs/jfs/file.c:22:
fs/jfs/endian24.h:36:101: warning: "__LITTLE_ENDIAN" is not defined

I get this warning on powerpc builds for most of the files in fs/jfs ...
