[PATCH] md: make md on-disk bitmaps not host-endian
Current bitmaps use set_bit et.al and so are host-endian, which means not-portable. Oops. Define a new version number (4) for which bitmaps are little-endian. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
