The IXP4xx networking engine operates big endian only.  Nevertheless
many NSLU2 machines run little-endian and still use that networking
hardware.  Current and future Debian releases for ARM (which is a
top-tier architecture on Debian) are little-endian only.  Little-
endian operation of the CPU offers the advantage that an unaligned
fetch from memory gives results that are usable after quick fixup.
An unaligned fetch in big-endian mode essentially gives junk.
