Probably the best way would be to remove endianness swapping from 
mips_m4k_read_memory
and put it to mips32_pracc/dma_read_mem32/16. Same for write.

pro: mips32_pracc_read_mem32, ... will return a byte array in target 
endianness, so no cast necessary.
con: Add swapping to at least 10 seperate functions
