I like the BE (or endian-neutral value-preserving) accessor idea.
Nevertheless Linux on IXP4xx doesn't even build at this time and I think
fixing this before 3.0 is well worth it.

I assume changing the common ARM code to use new accessors will happen
post-3.0.

(BTW that was Richard Cochran's patch)
