> Hi Luc,
> 
> The processing of bit fields on big endian systems in sial is
currently

are

> 
> To fix this, the following patch does the processing on big endian
> systems as follows:
> 1. sial_exemem(): Copy complete bit field to the "end" (right) of the
>    long long variable.
> 2. get_bit_value(): Shift the bits of the bit field member right to
>    the "end" of the long long variable. This results in the value of
>    the requested bitfield member.
