I wonder are there any hardware instructions to perform byte swaps (endian conversions) in SPARC? For example, if I open a data file that is stored in little-endian format, I would like to be able to read and convert the data as efficiently as possible. It would be very nice if I can mmap the data regions (as it were in big endian) and monkey with the data natives.... but that is too much to ask....
