Bug 418961

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #418741 +++

Description of problem:
With a quorate PPC cluster on the same subnet as my 3 node x86_64 cluster I was
unable to get the 3 node x86_64 cluster to form.  cman_tool join would fail due
to a timeout and ccsd was spinning and eating all the memory it could.

Tracked this down to broadcast message from the ppc with the following comm header:
[cnx_mgr.c:327] Checking broadcast response.
recvfrom 10.15.89.60  (A PPC node)
ch->comm_type: 0x8000000
ch->comm_payload_size: 704905216

ccsd was trying to malloc 704905216 bytes every time it got a response from a
ppc node during the broadcast phase.

The values above are still in big endian byte order, process_broadcast() did not
properly call swab_header() prior to generating the buffer it was going to send
on the wire.

The following patch (against CVS HEAD) allows big/little endian clusters on the
same network.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

cman-2.0.73-1.el5, but this was introduced in revision 1.37 of cnx_mgr.c


How reproducible:
Every time


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start quorate ppc cluster
2. Attempt to start little endian cluster on same subnet.
   ccsd will either slow your nodes so cman_tool join fails,
   or you will see ccsd alloc a ton of mem, which it does free after the
   cman_tool join works.

  
Actual results:

On my cluster -- cman_tool join fails due to nodes becoming so sluggish.
On clusters with more mem, the join will work.
