Subject: [for-linus][PATCH 2/3] tools/bootconfig: Store size and checksum in footer as le32

From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@...nel.org>

Store the size and the checksum fields in the footer as le32
instead of u32. This will allow us to apply bootconfig to the
cross build initrd without caring the endianness.
