I don't think this is right.  If I'm remembering how the vmstate
macros work, this will abort if big_endian_fb isn't equal on source
and destination.  Which means as soon as it's possible to actually
change the big_endian_fb value, migrations will start failing/

I think this should instead be VMSTATE_BOOL()

In which case you also don't need to change the type of the
big_endian_fb field.
