I have it almost ready, with one BIG problem:
in finfo->hfinfo->bitmask bitmask is stored in system endianess.

And when adding items, user can specify what endianess protocol is using.
This information is unfortunetly not stored in field_info - we don't
know which bits should be highlighted.

I was thinking to use finfo->value to check if it's be/le, but it's
quite complicated, and I'd like to do it in easier way.

It'd be best if we store information about endianess in field_info, ok?
Or did I missed something?
