this data structure is visible to the userspace (via the Bluetooth
library headers). Do we annotate them, too?

These are internal. We should have to annotate them. They should store
it in host order. If not, than that is the problem.

I have to look into this change. It basically means that this code never
worked on big endian systems, but it actually does.
