Sorry - I should probably revisit it since I've been away from it for
a while and it could be a lot clearer.

Take a look at "sbin/scsi_format/scsi_format.sh" in -current
where it dumps out a mode page, and also the mode page data
base in /usr/share/misc/scsi_modes where everything inside the
curly brace associated with a mode page index is a decode descriptor:
> # Peripheral Device Page:
> 0x09 {
> {Interface Identifier} i2
> {Reserved} *i1
> {Reserved} *i1
> {Reserved} *i1
> {Reserved} *i1
> }
This will dump out the first 2-byte integer field swapped into the
right order.
