This patch went through the intern code review process and not the
normal code review process.  The changelog didn't justify why changing
endianness was correct.

Normally I would have expected something like:

"These data types are used by the hardware so little endian is expected.
For most users this change is a no-op and the code works as is."

I really think the intern review process should subliment the normal
code review instead of replacing it.  We have seen many bugs introduced
when we skip the normal review.
