Replace C structure-based XDR decoding with pointer arithmetic. Pointer arithmetic is considered more portable, and is used throughout the kernel's existing XDR encoders. The gcc optimizer generates similar assembler code either way. Byte-swapping before a memory store on x86 typically results in an instruction pipeline stall. Avoid byte-swapping when encoding a new header. svcrdma currently doesn't alter a connection's credit grant value after the connection has been accepted, so it is effectively a constant. Cache the byte-swapped value in a separate field. Christoph suggested pulling the header encoding logic into the only function that uses it.
