That's what I thought at first. Then I figured that it was an Aranym optimisation (i.e. the aranym disk image format is big-endian to save work). Maybe ext4 on m68k is meant to be byte swapped on disk? I decided that this can't be the case, since an x86 kernel doesn't recognise the byte swapped filesystem at all and therefore conv=swab would be correct here.
