They are the same, this is just a somewhat expected warning.

If you insist on compiling with -Werror then these things have to be
fixed, otherwise the warning is harmless.

The proper fix is likely to change ib_net64_t to __be64.

Well, you get a harmless warning. Ignore the warning if someone mixes
old with new.
