2009-06-19	lib/checksum.c: fix endianess bug	Arnd Bergmann	1	-1/+9
	The new generic checksum code has a small dependency on endianess and worked only on big-endian systems. I could not find a nice efficient way to express this, so I added an #ifdef. Using 'result += le16_to_cpu(*buff);' would have worked as well, but would be slightly less efficient on big-endian systems and IMHO would not be clearer. Also fix a bug that prevents this from working on 64-bit machines. If you have a 64-bit CPU and want to use the generic checksum code, you should probably do some more optimizations anyway, but at least the code should not break.

2009-06-11	add generic lib/checksum.c	Arnd Bergmann	1	-0/+193
	Add a generic (unoptimized) implementation of checksum.c in pure C for use by all architectures that cannot be bother with implementing their own version.
