Re: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH] hw/core/generic-loader: Compile only once, not for each target

Please do this in 2 patches:
- clean the target_words_bigendian() mess, if possible documenting the
new function added in "qom/cpu.h"
- then move generic-loader to common

Is the comment added in 8e4a424b305 still valid?

/*
 * A helper function for the _utterly broken_ virtio device model to
find out if
 * it's running on a big endian machine. Don't do this at home kids!
 */
bool target_words_bigendian(void);

Thanks,

Phil.
