Yes it is a little messy, and we can not check _F_VERSION_1 because of

I think vhost generally needs an API to declare config space endian-ness
to kernel. vdpa can reuse that too then.
Yes, I remember you have mentioned some IOCTL to set the endian-ness,
for vDPA, I think only the vendor driver knows the endian,
so we may need a new function vdpa_ops->get_endian().
In the last thread, we say maybe it's better to add a comment for now.
But if you think we should add a vdpa_ops->get_endian(), I can work
on it for sure!
Thanks

I think QEMU has to set endian-ness. No one else knows.
Yes, for SW based vhost it is true. But for HW vDPA, only
the device & driver knows the endian, I think we can not
"set" a hardware's endian.
So if you think we should add a vdpa_ops->get_endian(),
I will drop these comments in the next version of
series, and work on a new patch for get_endian().
Thanks,
