I can't fathom how the endianness of a specific CPU at the point of the
reset makes any sense vs. the overall endianness of the system.
But this is all very theorical, fact is they will always match on
powerpc, so I don't care that much :)
In any case, for VGA, the right long term approach is a register in
the adapter. Though we might want to keep the trick of forcing it when
a PAPR guest does the H_SET_MODE hcall for general compatibility with
existing guests, after all it's a paravirt interface, we can have side
effects like that....
Cheers,
Ben.
