SubjectRe: Linux/IA-64 byte order

From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@transmeta.com>

I care, and it's going to be LE, simply because anything else is
just asking for trouble with the x86 binary compatibility part.

I agree here, I had forgotten about this issue.

My question still stands as to where there is a mechanism like:

ld [%reg1 + imm] BIG_ENDIAN, %reg2

Like the Sparc has for endian selection on a per-load/store basis.
