Unfortunately, the only devices I have to test with at the moment are integrated into cases with x86 boards in them, so testing isn't particularly straight-forward. I should probably get ahold of one of the plain external usb devices to play with... Mind if I just add a TODO marker near that for now?

I thought I had something together than would work, using 2 lines (memcpy, then le32_to_cpu), but I just realized that'll go south on the keys where we're only looking at half the buffer (i.e., the wrong half on big-endian)... Will see what I can do to fix that up in the morning, was hoping to get this out tonight, but its nearly 3am (again)...

Got something that works in place now. Well, definitely works on x86, works in theory on big-endian, haven't got a way to test it on the latter just yet.

At a glance, imon_incoming_packet() seems to be the only remaining function that is particularly hefty. Well, imon_probe() is still ~180 lines, but it used to be north of 400, I think... So perhaps I try trimming imon_probe() a bit more, and see what can be done to make imon_incoming_packet() less chunky.

Making good headway on imon_incoming_packet(), in-progress bits pushed again. Gotta take my son and a buddy to a movie. Life keeps getting in the way of me finishing this as quickly as I'd like... :)
