>The igb and igc driver both use a trick of creating a local type pointer on the stack
>to ease dealing with a receive descriptor in
>64 bit chunks for printing.  Sparse however was not taken into account and
>receive descriptors are always in little endian order, so just make the unions use
>__le64 instead of u64.

>No functional change.
