mlxbf-tmfifo accesses config space using native types - which works for it since the legacy virtio native types. This will break if it ever needs to support modern virtio, so with new tags previously introduced for virtio net config, sparse now warns for this in drivers. Since this is a legacy only device, fix it up using virtio_legacy_is_little_endian for now. No functional changes.

struct vring (in the uapi directory) and supporting APIs are kept around to avoid breaking old userspace builds. It's not actually part of the UAPI - it was kept in the UAPI header by mistake, and using it in kernel isn't necessary and prevents us from making changes safely. In particular, the APIs actually assume the legacy layout. Add struct vring_s (identical ATM) and supporting legacy

Config space endian-ness is currently a mess: fields are not tagged with the correct endian-ness so it's easy to make mistakes like instanciating config space in native endian-ness. The following patches adding sparse tagging are currently in my tree. Lightly tested. As a follow-up, I plan to add new APIs that handle modern config space in a more efficient way (bypassing the version check).

OK, some patches in the series add buggy code which is then fixed by follow-up patches, but none of the bugs fixed are severe regressions on common configs (e.g. compiler warnings, lockdep/rt errors, or bugs in new drivers). So I thought it's more important to preserve the credit for the fixes. I had to pull 5 patches from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mellanox/linux mlx5-next

From: Caz Yokoyama <Caz.Yokoyama at intel.com> This patch introduces a sample user space daemon which implements the virtio device backends on the host. The daemon creates/removes/configures virtio device backends by communicating with the Intel MIC Host Driver. The virtio devices currently supported are virtio net, virtio console and virtio block. Virtio net supports TSO/GSO. The daemon
