I think the driver was correct. The i/o layer should not try to byteswap
the io requests, because it can not second-guess what the driver is doing.

And in the case of the tr driver it now does two swaps for each word it tranfers on
big endian platforms instad of zero.

The ne2000 driver had the same problem, but I removed the swaps from the parisc i/o code 
instad of touching the driver.
