I'm worried that this might miss some conversion.
Let's add new typedefs __virtio16/__virtio32/__virtio64
instead.

This way we can use static checkers to catch bugs.

This is what my patch does, let me try to split
it up so parts are reusable for you.


Also if we do this, then virtio32_to_cpu is a better API
since it's closer to the type name.

Would be nicer to allow callers to pass in the legacy flag I think?
This way they can keep it on stack to avoid re-reading features
all the time ...
