Yes, it is, although I don't get to choose the binary format of data. And memory mapping is so much better than plain reading.
Actually, besides my per-load/store endianness selection, there is another scheme (supported on UltraSparc, could be supported by IA-64, I don't know).
There are often endianness selection bits in the page table entries, add a new flag to mmap, and voila.
