Figure 2-11 illustrates the contents of a GPR and memory (starting at address 00) after a normal
load/store in a big endian storage region.
Note that the results are identical to the results of a load/store with byte-reverse in a little endian
storage region, as illustrated in Figure 2-12.
Figure 2-13 illustrates the contents of a GPR and memory (starting at address 00) after a load/store
with byte-reverse in a big endian storage region.
