   Endianness should be pretty straightforward; unfortunately it does kind
   of preclude a MI PCI driver (in the interest of speed); perhaps it should
   be pci-be...

actually, endianness is one of the easier problems to solve.  we just
map into the MMU (or access via ASI's) the PCI space as little endian.
ultrasparc is nice like that. :-)


but, even so, NetBSD is designed such that any MI driver can (should,
and is in many cases) be endian-independant... we do the smarts in
the backends.
