Not really.  The problem is that if you introduce code that isn't clean
from the bit width or endianness perspective, the static checkers will
pick it up and flag it and we'll just get a flood of errors reported in
the driver.  Plus from the maintenance perspective, the code needs to be
clean (which is why the static checkers are looking for this).
