It seems the API that we have is a confusing one.
virtio endian-ness is either native or little, depending on a flag, so
__virtio16_to_cpu seems to mean "either native to cpu or little to cpu
depending on flag".
It used to be like that, but not anymore.
This leads to all kind of bugs.
For example, I have only now realized vhost_is_little_endian isn't a
constant on LE hosts if cross-endian support is not compiled.
I think we need to fix it, but also think about a better API.
