These routines are buggy in multiple ways:

The code is very similar to do_ld*_mmu functions, so it's subtle to notice.
Was the endianness bug due to the fact we use oi (MemOpIdx) directly instead of
get_memop(oi) (MemOp)?
No, it was due to ...
- ret = lduw_p(haddr);
- ret = ldl_p(haddr);
- ret = ldq_p(haddr);
... these being target-endian macros.
What was intended, once upon a time, was ldl_he_p etc,
so that the load was host-endian. But using the atomicity
routines is even better.
