Linus Torvalds 5fc835284d virtio/vhost: cross endian support
I have just queued some more bugfix patches today but none fix regressions and
 none are related to these ones, so it looks like a good time for a merge for
 -rc1.

Pull virtio/vhost cross endian support from Michael Tsirkin:
 "I have just queued some more bugfix patches today but none fix
  regressions and none are related to these ones, so it looks like a
  good time for a merge for -rc1.

  The motivation for this is support for legacy BE guests on the new LE
  hosts.  There are two redeeming properties that made me merge this:

   - It's a trivial amount of code: since we wrap host/guest accesses
     anyway, almost all of it is well hidden from drivers.

   - Sane platforms would never set flags like VHOST_CROSS_ENDIAN_LEGACY,
     and when it's clear, there's zero overhead (as some point it was
     tested by compiling with and without the patches, got the same
     stripped binary).

  Maybe we could create a Kconfig symbol to enforce the second point:
  prevent people from enabling it eg on x86.  I will look into this"
