Define "canonical byte-order". We can't very well go around doing
that on all platforms.
Reversed words/longwords are easy enough to detect; perhaps the FFS
handler should have a swab() or swaw() or whatever converter if it
discovers a reversed super-block magic number (and the other info
checks out, of course). Print a warning, perhaps?
Warning: mounting different-endian filesystem.
