Hey Guys,
I have a question about ordering of bits with the types for signed and unsigned in the kernel tree.
I am wondering if my list below is a good list of major areas of the kernel that need variable ordering
based to a certain endianness. If there are any more I am missing please let me known.
Cheers Nick
1. Certain Hardware Protocols like USB and PCI
2. Network Protocols
3. Keeping Data in a certain order preservation like for file systems

ATA and SCSI deserve explicit call out. Where do you put them in the above list?
Fyi, I consider one a hardware protocol and the other a network protocol. I let you figure out which is which.

ATA is under hardware and SCSI is for networking.
