So this function returns false when _not_ using version 1, but running
on a little endian host + guest? Sounds confusing. Maybe you could name
it "virtio_is_v1()" or so instead?

Ah, never mind, I should have looked at patch 6 first, then it makes
sense. (maybe you could put a note to the later patch in this patch
description?)
