I like the idea but the patch doesn't work :-(

Without the patch:

The above change seems fine.

This is used by ixp4xx_copy_from(). I don't exactly know what is MTD
layer going to do with map.swap = CFI_BIG_ENDIAN, but I think the
natural thing (= big endian on this CPU) is to copy data in big-endian
order, and then maybe (in LE mode) swap it.

In fact, it detects those RedBoot partitions when I use the original BE
BYTE0/BYTE1 macros (this second set, deleted by your patch).
Tested in BE mode only for now, can't give it more time at the moment
but will do soon.
