/* The Linux kernel provides capability info in EVIOCGBIT and in /sys
* as an array of unsigned long in native byte order, rather than an array
* of bytes, an array of native-endian 32-bit words or an array of
* native-endian 64-bit words like you might have reasonably expected.
* The order of words in the array is always lowest-valued first: for
* instance, the first unsigned long in abs[] contains the bit representing
* absolute axis 0 (ABS_X).
*
* The constant arrays above provide test data in little-endian, because
* that's the easiest representation for hard-coding into a test like this.
* On a big-endian platform we need to byteswap it, one unsigned long at a
* time, to match what the kernel would produce. This requires us to choose
* an appropriate byteswapping function for the architecture's word size. */
