The problem was triggered by qemu-iotests case 055. It failed when it
was comparing the compressed vmdk image with original test.img.

The cause is that buf_len in vmdk_write_extent wasn't converted to
little-endian before it was stored to disk. But later vmdk_read_extent
read it and converted it from little-endian to cpu endian.
If the cpu is big-endian like s390, the problem will happen and
the data length read by vmdk_read_extent will become invalid!
The fix is to add the conversion in vmdk_write_extent, meanwhile,
repair the endianness problem of lba field which shall also be converted
to little-endian before storing to disk.

Dears,

We would like to know if this patch will be pulled

into upstream or what else we need to do for it?

Because for upstream, the qemu-iotests case 055 still failed.

Thanks.

Jing

Kevin, would you like to take this or should I do it?

Adding Max since he's taking care of the other VMDK fix I posted.
