Well, it doesn't have to work right away. What I'm asking to
define the data structures in a way that keeps the layout stable
across kernel updates. Since a future version of the file system
might support cross-endian image creation, it would be good to
define the data structures in a fixed endian mode already, so
you don't have to change it in the future.
