But in such case, it's actually _better_ to keep status in wire
order, because it is a known order. Changing the status into the
host byte order in kernel makes it worse.

Well, if the architecture of libpcap is such that it stores the
header which you (the usb capture code) provide, then the only way
is to provide a host-independend order. But really I have no opinion,
I am not familiar with the code.
