This patch series adds some infrastructure to kvmtool to allow a BE guest to use virtio-mmio on a LE host, provided that the architecture actually supports such madness. Not all the backend have been converted, only those I actually cared about. Converting them is pretty easy though, and will be done if the method is deemed acceptable. This has been tested on both arm and arm64 (I use this on a daily basis to test BE code). The corresponding kernel changes have all been merged.

Instead, we snapshot the endianness of the vcpu when it tries to reset the device. A bit ugly, but doesn't require any change on the kernel side.
