No.  This isn't really an improvement.  We need to get rid of ->host_ed
entirely.  Which is actually easy.  Basically change gdm_cpu_to_dev16()
and friends to do so something:

u16 gdm_cpu_to_dev16(struct gdm_endian *ed, u16 x)
{
	if (ed->dev_ed == ENDIANNESS_LITTLE)
		return cpu_to_le16(x);
	else
		return cpu_to_be16(x);
}
