"sparse" warnings:

../lib/meta-flow.c:1148:26: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different 
base types)
../lib/meta-flow.c:1148:26:    expected unsigned int [unsigned] [usertype] 
base_layer
../lib/meta-flow.c:1148:26:    got restricted __be32 [usertype] <noident>
../lib/odp-util.c:3484:26: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different 
base types)
  CC     lib/ofp-util.lo

base_layer
../lib/odp-util.c:3484:26:    got restricted __be32
