I would prefer it to be kernel wide enabled.
Tried a defconfig build.

When I enabled __CHECK_ENDIAN I got:
8 files with > 100 warnings
14 files with 10 to 99 warnings.

So nothing that should scare a kernel hacker...

warnings without: 1686
warnings with: 2788

OK - thats a lot, but then fixing 8 files will significantly
reduce this.
