A better description would be:

  The field owned has wrong sized type. This commit fixes the
  issue.

And doesn't owned print invalid results on a big endian system
i.e. 0x1000000? The commit message needs to be rewritten to capture
the problem.

Please ignore this, the conversion is done in tpm_getcap(). I'll
update the commit message.

Now I'm really tripping :( tpm_getcap() does not do any sort of
conversion. _Bool in gcc is one byte. Sorry about this. This is
purely a type error. The size is correct.
