[OASIS Issue Tracker] Created: (VIRTIO-9) Change config space, ring and headers to always be little endian
Change config space, ring and headers to always be little endian

----------------------------------------------------------------

Key: VIRTIO-9
URL:  http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/VIRTIO-9
Project: OASIS Virtual I/O Device (VIRTIO)

TC
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Rusty Russell
They are currently guest-endian, and it's been a source of confusion and pain (esp. for architectures which can switch endian!).  There remains a question mark on virtio-ccw performance implications, but it's probably better to go LE everywhere than per-transport.
