Well, then does the PCI-host bridge on sparc64 do byte-swapping
even when the PCI bus-master accesses memory on its host via DMA?
Other PCI drivers which contain byte-swapping code would not
work on sparc64?

BTW, it seems that /sys/dev/ic/hme.c has bus_dmamem_alloc() and
bus_dmamem_map() but no bus_dmamap_load() nor bus_dmamap_sync()...
Anyway, does hme pass non byte-stream (like u_int32_t) data via DMA?
if no, no byte-swapping code is needed even on other big endian archs.
