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

virtio 1.0 makes all memory structures LE, so we need APIs to conditionally do a byteswap on BE architectures. To make it easier to check code statically, add virtio specific types for multi-byte integers in memory. Add low level wrappers that do a byteswap conditionally, these will be useful e.g. for vhost. Add high level wrappers that query device endian-ness and act accordingly.
