I don't have to test the patch to see that it is not endian-correct and
that it will be many times slower than the old code.

I have tested on big endian framebuffers and it does work.

How about little-endian?

Worked as well.

How did you do the test below if it doesn't work on little endian? If you 
are the only one allowed to work on the core system you need to make 
people aware of it. I won't invade you space anymore.
