Hi all,
I'd like to add bytes-swapping support to FFS, so that one can mount
a filesystem created with the other endianness (configurable with an
option). I can see 2 way to decide if we need byte swapping or not:
 - with a mount option,
 - autodetect, based on the magic number.

I prefer the second one.

In order to achieve this, I need byte swapping functions swap16(), swap32() and
swap64(). I think I'll implement theses in C in libkern, and peoples who
know about assembly can write optimised versions for a specific architecture.

Any comments about this ?
