Well the scenario I had in mind was

	int x = ld_le32( &le_struct.x );
	...
	do some ops on x
	...
	st_le32( &le_struct.x, x )

Hard to beat endian flipping load and store operations in
that context :-). But you are of course right that it is quite
inefficient if one operates on something already loaded into a
register.
