I think Harvey needs a mentor which can help him learn how to properly
build validate his patches before he submits them, and how to not mix
things up by, for example, validating the build with patches applied
that won't be submitted etc.

Every time I integrate these byteorder patches directly for networking
or sparc, it tends to be a build regression nightmare.

I think Andrew has hit 3 already with this patch series, quite an
accomplishment.  :-/
