To be accurate, this isn't an endian problem, it's a general problem
of passing a pointer to an incorrectly sized object.  The bug is
masked on amd64 & iA64 because real_dev_bsize is statically allocated
and therefore initialised to zero.  This means the failure to assign
the top 32 bits in the ioctl doesn't affect the final result.

sparc64/163460 for the record.  Thank you for tracking that down.
