[PATCH] Fix BSD accounting cross-platform compatibility
BSD accounting cross-platform compatibility is a new feature of 2.6.8 and
thus not crucial, but it'd be nice not to have kernels writing wrong file
formats out in the wild.
The endianness detection logic I wanted to suppose for userspace turned out
to be bogus. So just do it the simple way and store endianness info
together with the version number.
