Okay, I can do another pass over it and take another look. If we give
the OPAL APIs and hardware / in-memory structures the right endian
annotated types, then it mostly becomes a mechanical process of 
following sparse.

Thanks, I'll see if I can fix it. We can't be breaking BE builds.

I don't expect everything to work with LE after this series, but basic
witherspoon is working so it gives a starting point. I'll have a bit 
more look over the FSP conversions. If it becomes tricky and you'd like
more time to go over it, I can take it out of the initial series.

Thanks,
Nick
