+/* Pablo: What is the equivalence of be64_to_cpu in userspace?
+ *
+ * Harald: Good question. I don't think there's a standard way [yet?],
+ * so I'd suggest manually implementing it by "#if little endian" bitshift
+ * operations in C (at least for now).
+ *
+ * All the payload of any nfattr will always be in network byte order.
+ * This would allow easy transport over a real network in the future
+ * (e.g. jamal's netlink2).
+ *
+ * Pablo: I've called it __be64_to_cpu instead of be64_to_cpu, since maybe
+ * there will one in the userspace headers someday. We don't want to
+ * pollute POSIX space naming,
