Big endian systems issues discovered in the aacraid driver. Somewhat reverses a 
patch from November 7th of last year that removed swap operations because they 
formerly were being assigned to an u8 array when they should have been assigned 
to an le32 array.

This patch is largely inert for any little endian processor architecture. It 
resolves a bug in delivering the BlinkLED AIF event to registered applications 
when the adapter or associated hardware was reset due to ill health. A rare 
corner case occurrence, also largely unnoticed by any as it was a new 
(untested!) feature.

This attached patch is against current scsi-misc-2.6.

ObligatoryDisclaimer: Please accept my condolences regarding Outlook's handling 
of patch attachments.
