MIO emulation reads the last instruction executed by the guest and then emulates. If the guest is running in Little Endian mode, the instruction needs to be byte-swapped before being emulated. The first patches add simple helper routines to load instructions from the guest. It prepares ground for the byte-swapping of instructions when reading memory from Little Endian guests. The last patch enables the MMIO support by byte-swapping the last instruction if the guest is Little Endian. This patchset is based on Alex Graf's kvm-ppc-queue branch. It has been tested with anton's patchset for Big Endian and Little Endian HV guests and Big Endian PR guests. Changes in v4: - got rid of useless helper routine kvmppc_ld_inst(). (Alexander Graf) Changes in v3: - moved kvmppc_need_byteswap() in kvmppc_ld32. It previously was in kvmppc_ld_inst(). (Alexander Graf) Changes in v2: - replaced rldicl. by andi. to test the MSR_LE bit in the guest exit paths. (Paul Mackerras) - moved the byte swapping logic to kvmppc_handle_load() and kvmppc_handle_load() by changing the is_bigendian parameter meaning. (Paul Mackerras) Thanks, C.
