IMHO we only need two versions: big-endian filesystem with big-endian
16bit indexed bitmaps and little-endian filesystem with little-endian
bitmaps.  The rest is just the result of careless copying.  Note that
the minix filesystem does no byte swapping, so native byte order is the
only sensible mode.
