Subject: [PATCH] tipc: revert some previously ABI breaking changes to the user space tipc interface

Based on discussions with Leandro Lucarella and Jon Maloy, it appears we've
managed to break the TIPC user space ABI.  While it would be really nice to have
some level of consistency in regards to on the wire byte order, we can't do that
if it breaks user space.  This patch series reverts the offending patches that
caused this, and puts us back in a state that allows user space to work
properly.  We can now go back and look at methods to get consistent on the wire
byte order while maintaining host byte order in the user space API.
