[openib-general] [BUG] Byte swapped Pkeys

I don't think it's a big deal one way or another.  I will point out
that neither P_Key nor QPN values are opaque (the MSB of a P_Key value
determines full membership or not, QPN is used in CM peer compare, etc).

Are you volunteering to go through the current code base and fix up
the endian issues?  I don't have much stomach to go through everything
and change the byte order around, and I don't have much confidence
that I wouldn't introduce a ton of bugs anyway.

Thanks,
