If i understand this code correctly, you need the ntohl because you
are poking around inside the packet. All the other uses of
xemaclite_readl() are for descriptors etc.

It would be cleaner if you defined a xemaclite_readlbe32. If you use
ioread32be() it will do the endinness swap for you, so you don't need
the ntohl() and the horrible cast.
