Hi,
This patchset allows vhost to be used with legacy virtio when guest and host have a different endianness.
Patch 7 got rewritten according to Cornelia's and Michael's comments. I have also introduced patch 8 that brings BE vnet headers support to tun/macvtap.
This series is enough to have vhost_net working flawlessly. I could succesfully reboot guests from ppc64 to ppc64le and vice-versa on ppc64 and ppc64le hosts.
