This field is unstraightforward to use. We already have the same
information from the magic (which is stored in native-endian). I feel
like checking additional field will just lead to rejected FS
especially if I don't get this field right. In other words I prefer to
keep complexity to minimum especially in parts of code not used
extensively.
