I had some doubt to support rootfs in pram and after some feedback and the comments of this review I think I'll remove it from the next release (to understand some aspects of this fs with the kernel community was my main goal for this review). I agree to use the native endian. As I said the important thing is that if an user want to use it in a 64bit environment then the fs must work well and then it must be designed to support even this situation, I think it's obvious.
