I replied to this email a little too fast: reading vga.c and
vga_template.h again more carefully it occurred to me that the guest is
always RGB, only the host can set the sdl display to BGR.
Hence we don't need to handle this case in sdl_setdata, because if there
is any difference in depth or subpixel ordering between host and guest,
is up to SDL_BlitSurface to solve it.

But there is a similar issue that I wasn't handling: guest big endian
and host little endian or vice versa.
In fact I need to set different colour masks in sdl setdata according to
the guest endianness.
