You are right, I will dive a little further to find out the use for host_ed and eliminate it. I did
read an email from a while ago where one author mentioned that he needed to keep this function.
Also, the kernel already has functions to swap numbers for endianness. Will you rather use those?
Thanks for your feedback,
