As far as endian-ness, this would only occur when more than one was
involved, I think. 

Usually the device is modeled as a read-only, non-shared resource.

The only other thing you can usefully do with it is dump its contents
and then flush the buffer.

Any other methods would require at the least that you log the
transaction.
