virtio_cwrite/virtio_cread are used to write/read configuration
space for virtio devices. For virtio-crypto device, I used __le32/64 directly
in struct virtio_crypto_config. The sparse reports warnings if I use virtio_cread()
for virtio-crypto device.

Furthermore, it means the warnings exist for all VIRTIO_1 devices because
they are definitely LE, which it's not necessary to use virtio_to_cpu/cpu_to_virtio.


PS: I googled a discussion about this topic for virtio-input device, pls see:
 http://linux.kernel.narkive.com/3argfbWz/patch-1-1-add-virtio-input-driver
