Why don't you just fix the bug with -swab, so the user can flip the
order as needed? The idea of trying to have an exception case for every
drive possible is obviously a lot of work, and really not needed. He
disabled the swap and fixed his problem, but -swab really should toggle
the byte swap flag (as opposed to set or reset it).

If you want portability you have to realize that no software can always
know the right thing to do, and the user will have information the
software doesn't. By having the flag you agree that there are times when
a swap is needed, you should let the user choose those times.
