This small patch series adds just enough kernel infrastructure and fixes to allow a BE guest to use virtio-mmio on a LE host, provided that the host actually supports such madness. This has been tested on arm64, with some fixes to KVM and a set of changes to kvmtool, both which I am posting separately. A branch containing all the relevant changes is at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/maz/arm-platforms.git kvm-arm64/be-on-le-3.12-rc4 Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Michael S.
