ppc64 and Documentation/mic/mpssd/mpssd.c issues

[Yokoyama, Caz]

Thank you for the report.
Have you tried to compile on x86_64? Which rhel do you use? Rhel6.X?
MIC card is expected to work with x86_64 host, not with ppc64. We have never compiled on ppc host while our primary development platform was rhel6.X.

Line 92 is the first use of htole16 and MIC_VRING_ENTRIES. Is there any change on them?

Thank you.

Hi Caz,

     Sample Implementation of Intel MIC User Space Daemon.

... actually triggers a build error on my default config
ppc64 (I'm using net-next tree):
