While this does make some sense, I would rather change
byteorder_conversion_op() to return immediately for expressions of size <= 8.
There is obviously no byteorder in this case, so this seems more like
working around incorrect behaviour of that function.

Indeed, that should calm down that assertion.

But I think this patch also addresses another problem that we have.
The integer_type_parse function uses hostbyte order type for values in
the network header fields. I think this patch also addresses wrong
byteorder when the header field is larger than 8 bits.
