The byte swapping of bus high/low bytes only makes bus endianess happy.  You
still need to concern yourself with CPU endianess of code.  If code was
written targeting a little endian CPU there should be no problem.  Possibly
if code targeted a big endian CPU there may be no issues, but depends on the
code.  Computer networks are big endian, and endianess issues related to
network byte order may only show up closer to the application layer.  It all
depends on the code.
