[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] target-ppc: ppc64 target's virtio can be either endian. (v3)

[Greg Kurz]

We base it on the OS endian, as reflected by the endianness of the
interrupt vectors (handled through the ILE bit in the LPCR register).

This patch implements virtio_get_byteswap() over LPCR.

Using first_cpu to fetch the registers from KVM may look arbitrary
and awkward, but it is okay because KVM sets/unsets the ILE bit on
all CPUs.

Changes in v3:
-  dropped the explicit calls to kvm_[get|put]_one_reg as LPCR is
   now properly handled by the generic SPR code.
Changes in v2:
- call cpu_synchronize_state() instead of kvm_arch_get_registers().
