Once again, there's a lot more little endian than just you employers
hardware.  And once again the right thing for a maintained driver is
to fix the endianess bugs.  We should probably just mark it broken for
every platform given that intel doesn't care (And neither cares about
offers to fix endianess bugs if they send hardware..)
