At the moment VFIO's BARs are NATIVE_ENDIAN. The idea is that since
it does not parse BARs content and just provides transport, it should
not do byte swaps, the guest does it anyway. That worked fine while
the host was big-endian and it does not work when the host is little-endian.
This happens because ./configure defines static macro TARGET_WORDS_BIGENDIAN
for ppc64 and since there is no ppc64le - endianness of host and guest does
not match and stl_p&co swaps bytes as shown below.

The proposed patch at the end of this mail fixes the issue for VFIO in
any combination of host-guest, BE-LE (need to double check with BE host).
However since I fail to grasp the idea of having statically defined
TARGET_WORDS_BIGENDIAN, I assume I am missing something big here.

What would the correct fix be here? Thanks!
