* uint32_t be32_to_cpu(uint32_t v);
* uint64_t be64_to_cpu(uint64_t v);
*
* Convert the value @v from the specified format to the native
* endianness of the host CPU by byteswapping if necessary, and
* return the converted value.

*
* Convert the value @v from the native endianness of the host CPU to
* the specified format by byteswapping if necessary, and return

*
* Do an in-place conversion of the value pointed to by @v from the
* native endianness of the host CPU to the specified format.
*
* Both X_to_cpu() and cpu_to_X() perform the same operation; you
* should use whichever one is better documenting of the function your
* code is performing.
*
* Do not use these functions for conversion of values which are in guest
* memory, since the data may not be sufficiently aligned for the host CPU's
* load and store instructions. Instead you should use the ld*_p() and
* st*_p() functions, which perform loads and stores of data of any
* required size and endianness and handle possible misalignment.
