Maybe somebody should run qemu-iotests for it on a big endian machine to
make sure it works. Unfortunately, I don't have one here.

For the write bug you might want to write a new qemu-iotests test case
as it doesn't seem to be covered yet (at least, Christoph said the
driver passes).

I guess it's okay. It's just that until now the whole block code was
under a single license which I would have liked to retain. But again
just a matter of personal taste.
