ldl_p is the host native endian unaligned load primitive.
ldl_phys is the one that'll need to be adjusted or eliminated.

The troublesome offender appears to be virtio. I know some discussion of
cleaning that up has happened in the context of LE PowerPC, but I didn't really
follow what went on there.
