The bus_space(9) interface and proper coding practice should prevent
you from needing to #define BYTE_ORDER BIG_ENDIAN.  The byte order
on CPU->PCI reads/writes should be handled by the bus_space API.
The byte order for DMA should be handled by the usage of htole32
macros.  These won't do anything on little-endian systems, but will
swap the bytes for big-endian systems so that the PCI device will
read little-endian format.

Are you having difficulty with the driver as it is?
