Michael,

The vhost_is_little_endian() helper adds unconditionnal overhead to fixed
endian architectures: that is all architectures except arm and ppc64. This
was addressed in QEMU with a TARGET_IS_BIENDIAN macro. Please give an
advice about how to address this in the vhost code.

Thanks.

I suggest creating a config option for this, default to off.
When disabled the flag won't be set so userspace
can discover it's availability.
