The code indeed is very strange, but there are just 2 users, and they
will now receive byteswapped values, right? If it worked before, it
will be broken.

Did this get enough testing for -stable?

Is hw little endian or high endian or...? Note that ksz_write64()
still contains the strange code, at least in 5.10.

Best regards,
Pavel
