Actually, I think it's better if we just do two separate ones: a
"generic little-endian" and a "generic big-endian" one. Rather than
mixing both into one file that is then included from some arch-file
that statically knows its endianness instead.

I can do that. Give me a few minutes. Or more. Let's see how it ends up..
