[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 0/3] make endian-independent unaligned memory access functions available to libhw

[Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>]

Functions like ldl_be_p and ldl_le_p are currently used only as building
blocks for {ld,st}XX_p.  As such, they are in cpu-all.h even though they
have absolutely no dependency on the target.

In order to make them globally available, this series moves them to
bswap.h instead.

An interesting part of this is that there are functions also for floating
point values.  Leaving them in cpu-all.h would be possible but untidy.
In fact handling these is easy, but it requires to make softfloat.h
target-dependent as well.  This is what patch 2 does.

v1->v2:
        rebase, use softfloat-specialize.h instead of introducing
        softfloat-target.h

Paolo Bonzini (3):
  move WORDS_ALIGNED to qemu-common.h
  softfloat: change default nan definitions to variables
  move unaligned memory access functions to bswap.h
