Why is swap_bytes right solution? It feels like if anything we just
need to remove le_to_cpu32

The netmask configured in firmware is not respected on ppc64 (big
endian).
When 255.255.252.0 is set as netmask in firmware, the following is
the value of bootpath string in grub_ieee1275_parse_bootpath().
/vdevice/address@hidden:speed=auto,duplex=auto,192.168.88.10,,192.168.89.113,192.168.88.1,5,5,255.255.252.0,512
The netmask in this bootpath is no problem, since it's a value
specified in firmware. But,
The value of 'subnet_mask.ipv4' was set with 0xfffffc00, and
__builtin_ctz (~grub_le_to_cpu32 (subnet_mask.ipv4)) returned 16
(not 22).
As a result, 16 was used for netmask wrongly.
1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1100 0000 0000 # subnet_mask.ipv4
(=0xfffffc00)
0000 0000 1111 1100 1111 1111 1111 1111 # grub_le_to_cpu32
(subnet_mask.ipv4)
1111 1111 0000 0011 0000 0000 0000 0000 # ~grub_le_to_cpu32
(subnet_mask.ipv4)
And, the count of zero with __builtin_ctz can be 16.
This patch changes it as below.
1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1100 0000 0000 # subnet_mask.ipv4
(=0xfffffc00)
0000 0000 1111 1100 1111 1111 1111 1111 # grub_le_to_cpu32
(subnet_mask.ipv4)
1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1100 0000 0000 #
grub_swap_bytes32(grub_le_to_cpu32 (subnet_mask.ipv4))
0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0011 1111 1111 #
~grub_swap_bytes32(grub_le_to_cpu32 (subnet_mask.ipv4))
The count of zero with __builtin_clz can be 22. (clz counts the
number of one bits preceding the most significant zero bit)
