But it's my driver talking to the card (and probably selecting endianess mode).
So, as it seems to be, I can't rely on any byte ordering for any situation
and simply can not use bus_space_read_N for N > 1, right?

I certainly know the endianess of the card. I can swap bytes as appropriate.
And, in this case at least, I can always use bus_space_read_1, since the card's
interface allows it. I will do that, just to be sure.

What are the bus_space_read_2/4/8 functions for, if they don't work in MI 
drivers? And what about cards requiring the use of 2-byte or 4-byte IO 
instructions to get the correct behaviour?
