It makes sense, as array access reads 8 bit value, you would need to 
access value using pointer instead. So instead of doing 
be32_to_cpu(test_buf[i]) you would need to do be32_to_cpu(*(test_buf + 
i)) if I didn't mess the pointer magic ;)

And then I'm not sure which is better, be32_to_cpup or be32_to_cpu.
