in_be64() assembly

[Jake Moilanen]

I'm trying to use in_be64() and when I build, I get a compile errors:

{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:5534: Error: syntax error; found `(' but expected `)'
{standard input}:5534: Error: junk at end of line: `(3))'
make[1]: *** [arch/ppc64/xmon/xmon.o] Error 1
make: *** [arch/ppc64/xmon] Error 2
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Olof pointed out that in/out_le64 use a "b" operand for the addr.

In in_be64(), when changed the "m" operand to a "b", the kernel built
fine (although I haven't tried running it yet).  What does the "b"
operand mean?

Patch used below.

Thanks,
Jake
