Stefan Hajnoczi	e412d3a32b	virtio: fix typo in vring_need_event() doc comment ... Here the "other side" refers to the guest or host.

Michael S. Tsirkin	b28e0506fa	virtio_ring: document alignment requirements ... Host needs to know vring element alignment requirements: simply doing alignof on structures doesn't work reliably: on some platforms gcc has alignof(uint32_t) == 2. Add macros for alignment as specified in virtio 1.0 cs01, export them to userspace as well. Acked-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Signed-off-by: Michael S.

Michael S. Tsirkin	eef960a043	virtio: memory access APIs ... 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 query device endian-ness and act accordingly. Signed-off-by: Michael S.
