Hi Alex,

Nice catch! I don't like how the driver has two different methods
for creating these MAC addresses, both without comments. How does
this look?

The hypervisor expects MAC addresses passed in registers to be big
endian u64. Create a helper function called ibmveth_encode_mac_addr
which does the right thing in both big and little endian.
We were storing the MAC address in a long in struct ibmveth_adapter.
It's never used so remove it - we don't need another place in the
driver where we create endian issues with MAC addresses.
