[PATCH 1/4] UAPI: Fix endianness conditionals in linux/aio_abi.h

[David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>]

In the UAPI header files, __BIG_ENDIAN and __LITTLE_ENDIAN must be compared
against __BYTE_ORDER in preprocessor conditionals where these are exposed to
userspace (that is they're not inside __KERNEL__ conditionals).

However, in the main kernel the norm is to check for "defined(__XXX_ENDIAN)"
rather than comparing against __BYTE_ORDER and this has incorrectly leaked
into the userspace headers.

The definition of PADDED() in linux/aio_abi.h is wrong in this way.  Note that
userspace will likely interpret this and thus the order of fields in struct
iocb incorrectly as the little-endian variant on big-endian machines -
depending on header inclusion order.

[!!!] NOTE [!!!]  This patch may adversely change the userspace API.  It might
be better to fix the ordering of aio_key and aio_reserved1 in struct iocb.
