linux-user: SOCK_PACKET uses network endian to encode protocol in socket()
in PACKET(7) : packet_socket = socket(AF_PACKET, int socket_type, int protocol); [...] protocol is the IEEE 802.3 protocol number in network order. See the <linux/if_ether.h> include file for a list of allowed protocols. When protocol is set to htons(ETH_P_ALL) then all protocols are received. All incoming packets of that protocol type will be passed to the packet socket before they are passed to the protocols implemented in the kernel. [...] Compatibility In Linux 2.0, the only way to get a packet socket was by calling socket(AF_INET, SOCK_PACKET, protocol). We need to tswap16() the protocol because on big-endian, the ABI is waiting for, for instance for ETH_P_ALL, 0x0003 (big endian == network order), whereas on little-endian it is waiting for 0x0300.
