No.... it's not trivial ;-)

What you get is dependent on the bus. The consensus was that a bus
has endianess. PCI/ISA are little endian, VME is big endian. The bus_space
functions (except for their 'stream' members) should do bus to host endian
conversion automatically. This means that bus_space_read_2() on an 68k cpu 
when acting on an isa/pci bus does an implied byte-swap.

Hope this helps,
