The same way FreeBSD does: where ordering matters, use explicit
conversions when reading and writing.  The conversion functions / macros
are defined in such a manner that unnecessary conversions (e.g. host to
little-endian on a little-endian system) do not generate any code at
all.  The only downside is that you can't directly compare variables
unless you're certain that they're both in host order.
