I think the SWAP()'s are not that much. Maybe I can reduce this by moving some into the ia64-hypercall interface. What remain are the accesses to the ring buffers (not that simple in netfront because of the xen-macros). Perhaps some other guys contribute their opinion.

I would actually argue that they're scattered all over the place and it will be hard to be sure that we have all the SWAPs we need and only the SWAPs we need. Particularly to continue ensuring that given that most development will be with minios having same endianness as Xen.

In short: it's ugly and unless someone really cares it will rot.
