Sorry, real life got in the way, I had a series in -mm for a few months
that did the typing and fixed the argument ordering by providing a
load/store API and then moving the existing users across, but that got
delayed while the (aligned) byteswapping patches were made suitable
for mainline.
I'll get that series revived shortly.
