+This patch allows the endianness of the JFSS2 filesystem to be
+specified by config options.
+
+It defaults to native-endian (the previously hard-coded option).
+
+Some architectures (in particular, the NSLU2) benefit from having a
+single known endianness of JFFS2 filesystem (for data, not
+executables) independent of the endianness of the processor (ARM
+processors can be switched to either endianness at run-time).
