If you specify it as uint64_t native endian, you have an inefficient implementation on 32-bit userspace. So we went for unsigned byte native endian, which is the same as any size little endian. (well I think the real reason is that it just grew that way out of x86, but the above is quite plausible). -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
