osd_req_encode_op() breakage?

static void osd_req_encode_op(struct ceph_osd_request *req,
struct ceph_osd_op *dst,
struct ceph_osd_req_op *src)
{
dst->op = cpu_to_le16(src->op);

switch (dst->op) {
case CEPH_OSD_OP_READ:
case CEPH_OSD_OP_WRITE:

is an interesting thing to say, seeing that CEPH_OSD_OP_READ et.al. are
all host-endian... Should that be "switch (src->op)" instead? AFAICS,
that sucker had appeared in that form back in

ceph: messenger and osdc changes for rbd

and it seems to be broken on big-endian hosts. Doesn't look like a misspelled
le16_to_cpu() either, since dst->op ends up going on the wire...

I'm really mystified by that - it looks like it must've shown up immediately
on big-endian hosts; it's not like it was an obscure codepath, after all...
