This patch enables the migration of Qemu VMs between hosts of different
endianess. I tested this by migrating a i686 VM between a x86 and ppc64
host.

I am converting the 'int's in the VM's state header to uint32_t assuming
this doesn't break compatibility with existing deployments other than
Linux.

This won't work unless you also modify bootstrap.conf to include the
gnulib byteswap module.

ACK with that nit fixed.

I don't think it's necessary to include it there:

# rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/include/byteswap.h
glibc-headers-2.12.90-21.x86_64
