2014-12-09virtio: memory access APIsMichael S. Tsirkin1-0/+59
virtio 1.0 makes all memory structures LE, so we need APIs to conditionally do a byteswap on BE architectures. To make it easier to check code statically, add virtio specific types for multi-byte integers in memory. Add low level wrappers that do a byteswap conditionally, these will be useful e.g. for vhost. Add high level wrappers that query device endian-ness and act accordingly. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Cornelia Huck <[email protected]>
