Hi,
This patchset allows vhost_net to be used with legacy virtio when guest and host have a different endianness. It is based on previous work by Cédric Le Goater:
https://www.mail-archive.com/kvm-ppc@vger.kernel.org/msg09848.html
As suggested by MST: - the API now asks for a specific format (big endian) instead of the hint whether byteswap is needed or not (patch 1) - rebased on top of the virtio-1 accessors (patch 2)
Patch 3 is a separate fix: I think it is also valid for virtio-1.
Please comment.
