As I said before: the question was regarding _default_ byteorder. Linus has said that he wants the byteorder to be little-endian and that is it.
It's of no use to press me for architectural information on IA-64. You'll just have to wait until the architecture is fully disclosed (or live with what has been disclosed already). Sorry.
