Subject: [PATCH net-next 11/11] ixgbe: reduce checker warnings

From: Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@...el.com>

Fix the sparse warnings in the ixgbe crypto offload code. These
changes were made in the most conservative way (force cast)
in order to hopefully not break the code. I suspect that the
code might still be broken on big-endian architectures, but
no one is complaining, so I'm just leaving it functionally
the same.
