Fixed endian isn't necessarily a requirement. Detectable endian is. As
long as (a) the filesystem mkfs notes the endian-ness and (b) the kernel
filesystem code properly handles both types of endian, life is fine.
For SquashFS, though, I would think that fixed endian would be easy.
Since it is byte-packed, just handle endian as you unpack.
