Hi, This series allows QEMU to use vhost with legacy virtio devices when host and target don't have the same endianness. Only network devices are covered for the moment. I had already posted a series some monthes ago but it never got reviewed. Moreover, the underlying kernel support was entirely re-written and is still waiting to be applied by Michael. I hence post as RFC. The corresponding

Hi, This patchset allows vhost to be used with legacy virtio when guest and host have a different endianness. Patch 7 got rewritten according to Cornelia's and Michael's comments. I have also introduced patch 8 that brings BE vnet headers support to tun/macvtap. This series is enough to have vhost_net working flawlessly. I could succesfully reboot guests from ppc64 to ppc64le and

Hi, This patchset allows vhost to be used with legacy virtio when guest and host have a different endianness. It is compatible with modern virtio and can be fully compiled out through kernel config. FWIW, I could flawlessly kexec/reboot guests from ppc64 to ppc64le and back. I could also migrate from a ppc64 to a ppc64le host and back. No regressions on x86 as expected.
