The kernel side should be clean of any endian bugs, but there are maybe some code parts that are never got really intensiv testing on big endian platforms. So I am of course not 100% sure. On the other side I think that the userspace part still have some missing byteswap operations, so try to isolate them and I will try to fix them as soon as possible.
