Paolo's recent cpu.h cleanups broke legacy virtio for ppc64 LE guests (and
arm BE guests as well, even if I have not verified that). Especially, commit
"33c11879fd42 qemu-common: push cpu.h inclusion out of qemu-common.h" has
the side-effect of silently hiding the TARGET_IS_BIENDIAN macro from the
virtio memory accessors, and thus fully disabling support of endian changing
targets.
To be sure this cannot happen again, let's gather all the bi-endian bits
where they belong in include/hw/virtio/virtio-access.h.
The changes in hw/virtio/vhost.c are safe because vhost_needs_vring_endian()
is not called on a hot path and non bi-endian targets will return false
anyway.
While here, also rename TARGET_IS_BIENDIAN to be more precise: it is only for
legacy virtio and bi-endian guests.

When adding cross-endian support, we introduced the TARGET_IS_BIENDIAN macro
and the virtio_access_is_big_endian() helper to have a branchless fast path
in the virtio memory accessors for targets that don't switch endian.
This was considered as a strong requirement at the time.
Now we have added a runtime check for virtio 1.0, which ruins the benefit
of the virtio_access_is_big_endian() helper for always little-endian targets.
With this patch, always little-endian targets stop checking for virtio 1.0,
since the result is little-endian in all cases.

If target is bi-endian (ppc64, arm), the virtio_legacy_is_cross_endian()
indeed returns the runtime state of the virtio device. However, it returns
false unconditionally in the general case. This sounds a bit strange
given the name of the function.
This helper is only useful for vhost actually, where indeed non bi-endian
targets don't have to deal with cross-endian issues.
This patch moves the helper to vhost.c and gives it a more appropriate name.

When running a fully emulated device in cross-endian conditions, including
a virtio 1.0 device offered to a big endian guest, we need to fix the vnet
headers. This is currently handled by the virtio_net_hdr_swap() function
in the core virtio-net code but it should actually be handled by the net
backend.
With this patch, virtio-net now tries to configure the backend to do the
endian fixing when the device starts (i.e. drivers sets the CONFIG_OK bit).
If the backend cannot support the requested endiannes, we have to fallback
onto virtio_net_hdr_swap(): this is recorded in the needs_vnet_hdr_swap flag,
to be used in the TX and RX paths.
Note that we reset the backend to the default behaviour (guest native
endianness) when the device stops (i.e. device status had CONFIG_OK bit and
driver unsets it). This is needed, with the linux tap backend at least,
otherwise the guest may lose network connectivity if rebooted into a
different endianness.
The current vhost-net code also tries to configure net backends. This will
be no more needed and will be reverted in a subsequent patch.

Commit ef546f1275 ("virtio: add
feature checking helpers") introduced a helper __virtio_has_feature.
We don't want to use reserved identifiers, though, so let's
rename __virtio_has_feature to virtio_has_feature and virtio_has_feature
to virtio_vdev_has_feature.

("virtio-net: byteswap virtio-net header") breaks any layout by
requiring out_sg[0].iov_len >= n->guest_hdr_len. Fixing this by
copying header to temporary buffer if swap is needed, and then use
this buffer as part of out_sg.

This is the virtio-access.h header file taken from Rusty's "endian-ambivalent
targets using legacy virtio" patch. It introduces helpers that should be used
when accessing vring data or by drivers for data that contains headers.
The virtio config space is also target endian, but the current code already
handles that with the virtio_is_big_endian() helper. There is no obvious
benefit at using the virtio accessors in this case.
Now we have two distinct paths: a fast inline one for fixed endian targets,
and a slow out-of-line one for targets that define the new TARGET_IS_BIENDIAN
macro.
