> 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.
