As a note, is it really important to you to go big endian? I'm sure that
things like readb can be changed to correctly swap the lower bits of the
address, but we currently do not have any 'endianness' stuff for the
16 or 32bit registers. I've not tried any of the S3C series in anything
other than little endian.
