This patch removes config dependency on x86 to build vmxnet3 driver. Thus
the driver can be built on big endian architectures now. Although vmxnet3
is not supported on VMs other than x86 architecture, all this code goes in
to ensure correctness. If the code is not dependent on x86, it should not
assume little endian architecture in any of its operations.

vmxnet3 was using dprintk() for debugging output. This was
defined in <linux/dst.h> and was the only thing that was
used from that header file. This caused compile errors
when CONFIG_BLOCK was not enabled due to bio* and BIO*
uses in the header file, so change this driver to use
dev_dbg() for debugging output.

vmxnet3 uses in_dev* interfaces so it should depend on INET.
Also fix so that the driver builds when CONFIG_PCI_MSI is disabled.
