What I'd suggest doing as a first pass is just allocating the buffer
each time, anything else is a performance optimisation we can worry
about incrementally. Remember, this only has to be faster than I2C most
of the time and I2C is really slow. For your case with 8 byte values
there's an even better optimisation which is to notice that we don't
need to swap at all and just use the original buffer directly.
