[PATCH 0/7] kvmtool: handle guests of a different endianness

[Marc Zyngier]

This patch series adds some infrastructure to kvmtool to allow a BE
guest to use virtio-mmio on a LE host, provided that the architecture
actually supports such madness.

Not all the backend have been converted, only those I actually cared
about. Converting them is pretty easy though, and will be done if the
method is deemed acceptable.

This has been tested on arm64, with some fixes to KVM and a set of
changes to virtio, both which I am posting separately.

A branch containing all the relevant changes is at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/maz/arm-platforms.git kvm-arm64/be-on-le-3.12-rc4
