Of course. But isn't it reasonable to assume that a device integrated on the same silicon as the CPU is connected to a somewhat sane bus which doesn't require any byte swapping? > So what happened to the old idea of putting the accessor function pointers > in the device/bus structure? Don't know. I think it sounds like overkill to replace a simple load or store with an indirect function call.
