This is the correct fix.  Can you please send a patch?

I/O dispatch functions take a native endian argument and when
cpu_{in,out][bwl] is called it's passed a native endian argument.  There
is no need to ever byte swap.

The ISA bus is going to have data pins numbered D0..D15.  There is no
concept of endianness.  D0 is the LSB.  How the CPU stores bytes in
memory is orthogonal to what is happening on the bus.
