BTW all this logic seems wrong on big endian.
Maybe we don't care short term but we do long term.
I think you need to fix it up using le_to_cpu or something.
And in particular this likely means bitfields can not be used cleanly,
so you will not be able to resync lsilogic.h from virtualbox.
The implication I guess is that we should just fix up the style
to match qemu.
