From 96c1606b33a64ea6d5e1a988f9eb234a58947002 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Graf Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2009 12:49:56 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Use Little Endian for Dirty Log We currently use host endian long types to store information in the dirty bitmap. This works reasonably well on Little Endian targets, because the u32 after the first contains the next 32 bits. On Big Endian this breaks completely though, forcing us to be inventive here. So Ben suggested to always use Little Endian, which looks reasonable. We only have dirty bitmap implemented in Little Endian targets so far and since PowerPC would be the first Big Endian platform, we can just as well switch to Little Endian always with little effort without breaking existing targets. This is the userspace part of the patch. It shouldn't change anything for existing targets, but help PowerPC. It replaces my older patch called "Use 64bit pointer for dirty log".
