Exactly this issue. If you specify it as unsigned long native endian,
there is ambiguity between 32-bit and 64-bit userspace. If you specify
it as uint64_t native endian, you have an inefficient implementation on
32-bit userspace. So we went for unsigned byte native endian, which is
the same as any size little endian.
(well I think the real reason is that it just grew that way out of x86,
but the above is quite plausible).
