Loosely coupled with the issue, the byte order conversion, htonl,
htons, ntohl, ntohs are misused by non-network portions of NetBSD
kernel.  I think it would be good programming practice to have
explicit #if BYTEORDER == ...  and bswap*() calls where the byte-order
sensive data are manipulated rather than to run 'network byte order
conversion' to solve byte orderness.
