Hi Michael,

virtio 1.0 makes all memory structures LE, so
we need APIs to conditionally do a byteswap on BE
architectures.

To make it easier to check code statically,
add virtio specific types for multi-byte integers
in memory.

Add low level wrappers that do a byteswap conditionally, these will be
useful e.g. for vhost.  Add high level wrappers that will (in the
future) query device endian-ness and act accordingly.

At the moment, stub them out and assume native endian-ness everywhere.

What patch creates this file?

Oops I forgot to git add it.
Will resend.

How does __virtio64 differ from __le64?

Thanks,
Chris

__le64 would require cpu_to_le, I wanted to force the use
of our byte swapping macros.
