During LCA14 I had discussion with Alex about changing and sharing
one_reg endianness functions with ppc code and with V8 side as well ...
Alex  outlined how it should be done and showed me ppc side of this
code. He asked me to check with you before I start moving into this
direction. I could not catch you during remaining LCA14 days. But
now it looks you are on the same page ...

Let me try to rework code along Alex's suggestion and see how
it will look like. I will take in account your above suggestions and will
try to clean 64/32 bit overload. Since it will have bigger scope and
shared with ppc side I wonder maybe I should pull this patch out of
this series and handle it as later additions.

Thanks,
Victor
