[PF_KEY]: spirange should be in host byte order.
I'm looking through the xfrm_alloc_spi stuff and noticed that the netlink alloc_spi function takes the range in host order while the PFKEY alloc_spi function takes them in network order. First I thought that I stuffed up since I was the one who changed the code in the netlink interface to take them in host order :) But reading RFC 2367 seems to indicate otherwise. It says that all fields are host order unless specified otherwise. And the spirange fields are not specified to be network order at all. Looking at the existing PFKEY users: User Space ---------- Openswan - Doesn't use PFKEY for this. Racoon - Puts zeros in there so it doesn't care. However its test-pfkey program stores things in host order. ISAKMPD - Stores things in host order. So the conclusion is that we can and should change our PFKEY implementation to use host order for these fields. This patch does exactly that.
