Eh, no. What we do is we read (good on BE, byte reversed) into r0. Then we
swab32() from r0 to r3 on LE, mr from r0 to r3 on BE.
r3 gets truncated along the way.
The reason we maintain r0 as wrong-endian is that we write it back using the
cache inhibited stwcix instruction:
stwcix r0, r6, r7 /* EOI it */
So during the lifetime of r0 as XIRR it's always byte-reversed on LE. That's
why we store it using STWX_BE into hstate, because that's the time when we
actually swab32() it for further interpretation.
So the STWX_BE is more like a be32_to_cpu than a cpu_to_be32, which is
what the name STWX_BE would suggest. Sounds like it at least deserves
a comment, or (as you suggest) rearrange the register usage so a
normal store works.
Yes, I have this now:

Subject: [PATCH] KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Access XICS in BE
On the exit path from the guest we check what type of interrupt we received
if we received one. This means we're doing hardware access to the XICS
interrupt
controller.
However, when running on a little endian system, this access is byte
reversed.
So let's make sure to swizzle the bytes back again and virtually make XICS
accesses big endian.
