While working on extended rand for last_error/first_error timestamps,
I noticed that the endianess is wrong; we access the little-endian
fields in struct ext4_super_block as native-endian when we print them.
This adds a special case in ext4_attr_show() and ext4_attr_store()
to byteswap the superblock fields if needed.
In older kernels, this code was part of super.c, it got moved to
sysfs.c in linux-4.4.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
