Yes, I know it's ugly. I searched for a swab24 function. The file
fs/jfs/endian24.h defines such a function. Including this file in
fs/cramfs/inode.c would be even more ugly than the code above. What
about moving this to a header file in include/linux/byteorder? (just a 
suggestion,
perhaps it isn't worth the effort...)

OK. I'll remove the inline keywords in my copies aswell. Should I prepare a new 
patch
and send it to the mailinglist?

Oh, I'm sorry. I should have checked that.
