"buff" comes from the network, it's going to be little endian, not cpu
endian.  The rest of the function treats it as CPU endian but I'm pretty
sure it's wrong...

I worry about alignment issues here.  That might be the reason for the
memcpy().  (I'm reading as fast as I can and don't the code so I may
be wrong).

Maybe the same, whenever you see a memcpy().

Why did we make these int now?

Why do we not need to mask by 0x7?  Anyway, I feel like this isn't
beautiful.  We should be using a macro and "wid" instead of magically
poking into info[1].

		switch(SOME_MACRO(wid)) {
