Right, my comment is wrong, should be "no need for cpu_to_le32()" instead
of what I said ("no need for cpu_to_le16()")... :)

Re. why I said "opaque, no need for endianness fix" is because they're
a straight-through assignment from cpu->env.cpuid_version and 
cpu->env.features[FEAT_1_EDX], respectively. So they're not really
"numbers" which need endianness adjustment.

Did I get that wrong ? (I mean, besides the 16 vs. 32 in the comment) ?

Thanks,
