I admit that I find this patch description hard to read :)
"vhost/net keeps a copy of the used ring in host memory but (ab)uses
the length field for internal house-keeping. This works because the
length in the used ring for tx is always 0. In order to suppress sparse
errors, we need to force native endianness."
