[PATCH v6 6/8] virtio: add explicit big-endian support to memory accessors

The current memory accessors logic is:
- little endian if little_endian
- native endian (i.e. no byteswap) if !little_endian

If we want to fully support cross-endian vhost, we also need to be
able to convert to big endian.

Instead of changing the little_endian argument to some 3-value enum, this
patch changes the logic to:
- little endian if little_endian
- big endian if !little_endian

The native endian case is handled by all users with a trivial helper. This
patch doesn't change any functionality, nor it does add overhead.

- changed endian checking helpers as suggested by Thomas (use || and line

[PATCH v6 7/8] vhost: cross-endian support for legacy devices

This patch brings cross-endian support to vhost when used to implement
legacy virtio devices. Since it is a relatively rare situation, the
feature availability is controlled by a kernel config option (not set
by default).

The vq->is_le boolean field is added to cache the endianness to be
used for ring accesses. It defaults to native endian, as expected
by legacy virtio devices. When the ring gets active, we force little
endian if the device is modern. When the ring is deactivated, we
revert to the native endian default.

If cross-endian was compiled in, a vq->user_be boolean field is added
so that userspace may request a specific endianness. This field is
used to override the default when activating the ring of a legacy
device. It has no effect on modern devices.

Changes since v5:
- fixed description in Kconfig
- fixed error description in uapi header
- dropped useless semi-colon in the vhost_vq_reset_user_be() stub

[PATCH v6 8/8] macvtap/tun: cross-endian support for little-endian hosts

The VNET_LE flag was introduced to fix accesses to virtio 1.0 headers
that are always little-endian. It can also be used to handle the special
case of a legacy little-endian device implemented by a big-endian host.

Let's add a flag and ioctls for big-endian devices as well. If both flags
are set, little-endian wins.

Since this is isn't a common usecase, the feature is controlled by a kernel
config option (not set by default).

Both macvtap and tun are covered by this patch since they share the same
API with userland.

Hi Michael,

I realize you just got back and have tons of things to do... Do
you still plan to apply shortly ? Would you also have time to
comment the QEMU part ?
