Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] (VIRTIO-9) Change config space, ring and headers to always be little endian


     [ https://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/VIRTIO-9?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Michael Tsirkin updated VIRTIO-9:
---------------------------------

    Affects Version/s: virtio 0.9.X legacy
          Description: 
They are currently guest-endian, and it's been a source of confusion and pain (esp. for architectures which can switch endian!).

There remains a question mark on virtio-ccw performance implications, but it's probably better to go LE everywhere than per-transport.
