Subject: [PATCH 2.6 7/8] RDMA/nes: Fix rdma connection establishment on big-endian platforms

From: Faisal Latif <flatif@...effect.com>

With commit ef19454bd437b2ba, behavior of crc32c changes on
big-endian platforms.

Our algorithm expects previous behavior otherwise we have
rdma connection establishment failure on big-endian platforms
like ppc64.  Applying cpu_to_le32() to value returned by
crc32c() to get previous behavior.
