Looks reasonable ... has you been able to test this?

arch/arm/include/asm/opcodes.h has some swabbing macros which work in
assembler.  Would those help?  I'm wondering whether those ought to move
somewhere else, with cpu_to_mem style wrappers.  Currently, the only
wrappers there are tailored for handling opcodes, but the principle is
the same.
