-----------------------------------------------------

                 Key: VIRTIO-58
                 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/VIRTIO-58
             Project: OASIS Virtual I/O Device (VIRTIO) TC
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Michael Tsirkin
            Assignee: Michael Tsirkin
            Priority: Minor


WD currently has a note on legacy endian-ness
before each structure.
This violates the clean separation of legacy
in separate sections.
It's not too bad but we can improve this
before 1.0.

For legacy it's mostly consistent:
device specific stuff and in-memory stuff is native endian

Exceptions:
PCI common virtio header is little endian
but it is not documented using a struct.
(balloon is only exception).

CCW already uses BEXX

MMIO isn't using C structs at all.
