FWIW, with these patches in we have net/ nearly endian-clean.  Two
major exceptions are ieee80211 and sctp.  I think I've got more or
less sane way to deal with the latter, it won't be fun (and yes,
that's the queue I'm currently getting into shape).  A bunch of
genuine bugs in there, too, especially when it comes to sctp+ipv6...
