I think a separate emulation would be the best thing, with the hooks to
make sure the CPU endianism is set right. Among other things, that makes
it BLATANTLY OBVIOUS to all parts of the kernel what is going on. Also,
the emulation code would handle endianism-switching of syscall arguments.

Take care,
