Subject[patch 06/46] bnx2x: PCI configuration bug on big-endian
2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Eilon Greenstein <eilong@broadcom.com>

commit 7d96567ac0527703cf1b80043fc0ebd7f21a10ad upstream.

The current code read nothing but zeros on big-endian (wrong part of the
32bits). This caused poor performance on big-endian machines. Though this
issue did not cause the system to crash, the performance is significantly
better with the fix so I view it as critical bug fix.
