It's not confusing. When you run unpatched qemu *on a big endian host*,
that's identical to what the patched code does *on a big endian host*.

The full matrix actually has 8 elements (3 dimensions with 2 values per
dimension) -- host endianness, patched qemu vs. unpatched qemu, and
swizzling vs. non-swizzling firmware.

Thanks,
Laszlo
