	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 <mst@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Cornelia Huck <cornelia.huck@de.ibm.com>
