Do you think it makes sense to try and adjust the code to work with the BE layout natively and have a full 128bit reverse after ldr-like loads on LE instead (considering that 99,999% of aarch64 users will run LE)?
If you don't have a use-case we can suspend big-endian support of GCM optimization on aarch64 until we get a request, use case or maybe aarch64_be get more support in the future by main distributions.
+1. At minimum, someone needs to produce an image to load on a commodity board. If there are no images for a common board then there's no demand in the market. There's no reason to jump through hoops, like qemu, to solve a problem that does not exist.
