So a change here https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/master/make/CreateJmods.gmk#L252. Did I understand it correctly?

No, I meant a simple mapping of the current ModuleTarget values to endianness. Maybe some day we'll extend tor replace the ModuleTarget attribute to include information on endian, hard vs. soft float, and other arch details. Not for this PR.
