 I have identified a further problem with this change:
 
 This change causes ip_id for non-DF to be output in native byte order in
 ip_output.c.  Unfortunately ip_id is still output in Network Byte Order
 in ip_mroute.c and raw_ip.c, so this change risks little-endian machines
 emitting the same IP fragmentation id at about the same time from these
 different modules (after another 255 packets), rather than after the usual
 64k cycle; creating a small but real risk of fragment re-assembly errors.
