I was suspicious about it because they are defined as "u8 x[8]" in the virtio_scsi_config struct. So you would need to read with virtio_cread_bytes and pass the result to wwn_to_u64. For example, if you have 0x500123456789abcd this would be 0x50 0x01 0x23 0x45 0x67 0x89 0xab 0cd in virtio_scsi_config, and then virtio_cread64 would read it as a little-endian u64, 0xcdab896745230150. Maybe your QEMU patch is also writing things as little-endian 64-bit integers, rather than 8-element arrays of bytes?
