It passes sparse with only a few warnings about calling memset() with a

because I indeed want to initialize large chunks of memory to zero using
memset...

The HW is BE. So building WR's that get DMA'd to the adapter need
values in BE. Also, pulling values out of the CQE require mapping back
to cpu byte order.

Ok.
