Ok, something fishy on the MIPS (Octeon) side of my code

I've in packet payload...

     uint64_t in_packets;

and before sending the packet out, I do something like

    x.in_packets = htonq(x.in_packets)

when the in_packets is 7, the wireshark shows it as

... 00 00 00 07 00 00 00 00 ...

Apparently MIPS in big endian mode and calling htonq is not
correct. I was using htonq in same sense as "htonl", which
always works, whether host is big or little endian.
