Keep it bus-endian, as that's the "normal" way bus structures work (like
PCI and USB for example), and that should be in a documented, and
consistent, form, right?

Then do the conversion when you access the field from within the kernel.
Again, examples of USB and PCI can be used if you want to copy what they
do.
