All the values are in register. The shifting operations should be the
same for big endian and little endian, e.g., value 64 >> 2 = 16 when
value "64" is in register. So I did not see a problem here.

Could you elaborate which field access in test_pkt_md_access
caused problem?

It would be good if you can give detailed memory la
