Ah right, then I'm inclined to keep it untouched.

Last time I looked at a crypto driver, it was full of "switch the
endian" operations, back and forth. So my request here was simply to
make it clear which endian is actually expected.
So I'm guessing the appropriate comment is:

	/* The SCM call requires that the key words are encoded in big endian */

That's a valid reason that I was looking for. Wouldn't this be a common
problem, something other parts of the stack would like to avoid?
Or it's just a byte array until we get here?

No need to jump through the hoops, but a comment would have saved
(robbed?) me from wondering.
