Fair enough, but still I'm starting to regret that I didn't ask you guys
to at least try working with others to get the hardware drivers fixed up
for the llvmpipe big endian fixes before pushing them...

Also, I was hoping there would be followup work extending the same
approach for the remaining formats. Do you have any plans for that? The
current half-finished situation is quite messy and confusing for people
working on format related code.
