Currently, console_ch_t is defined as an unsigned long.  However, immediately

on big endian hosts.
It seems that what this really tries to do is like *dest =
leul_to_cpu(v) from bswap.h? (Or cpu_to_leul.. quite difficult to wrap
my head around it..)

Yeah, I think it possibly should be a leul_to_cpu with the function signature changed to take an unsigned long.

But one thing I'm very confused about is why console_ch_t is an unsigned long vs. a uint32..
