I think the implementation will work also on platforms with big-endian byte order. `TestMergeStores` succeeds with a few adaptations on ppc64. The draft (https://github.com/reinrich/jdk/commit/49688b6ff57f7a886c42ebefd8b93cab1b84d503) needs more thorough testing though.
@offamitkumar you might want to test it on s390x.
