Right, I started with the t10dif implementation. I changed it to the
unaligned accessor since you indicated the output buffer doesn't have an
alignment guarantee.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but it looks easier to just use the CPU
native endianess here. The only users for t10 and rocksoft transform to
big-endian for the wire protocol at the end, but there's no need to
maintain a specific byte order before setting the payload.
