That makes me thing even more it is just a machine type property. None the less, since you've already taken this pattern of dual machine types for BE & LE on MIPS/SH4/XTensa, I think we should stick with your precedent. Consistent modelling of endian handling across all machine types is most important IMHO With regards, Daniel -- |: https://berrange.com -o- https://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange :| |: https://libvirt.org -o- https://fstop138.berrange.com :| |: https://entangle-photo.org -o- https://www.instagram.com/dberrange :|
