[PATCH] vfio: Fix endianness handling for emulated BARs

[Alexey Kardashevskiy <aik@ozlabs.ru>]

VFIO exposes BARs to user space as a byte stream so userspace can
read it using pread()/pwrite(). Since this is a byte stream, VFIO should
not do byte swapping and simply return values as it gets them from
PCI device.

Instead, the existing code assumes that byte stream in read/write is
little-endian and it fixes endianness for values which it passes to
ioreadXX/iowriteXX helpers. This works for little-endian as PCI is
little endian and le32_to_cpu/... are stubs.

This also works for big endian but rather by an accident: it reads 4 bytes
from the stream (@val is big endian), converts to CPU format (which should
be big endian) as it was little endian (@val becomes actually little
endian) and calls iowrite32() which does not do swapping on big endian
system.

This removes byte swapping and makes use ioread32be/iowrite32be
(and 16bit versions) on big-endian systems. The "be" helpers take
native endian values and do swapping at the moment of writing to a PCI
register using one of "store byte-reversed" instructions.
