Hmm I am a bit confused, I was working on removing the tswapXX API
from softmmu [*] (restricting it locally to gdbstub). Now I realize
commit 24be3369ad ("include/exec: Provide the tswap() functions for 
target independent code, too") exposes it furthermore. I thought the
ld/st API was clearer and enough for all our uses, but maybe I am
wrong and we need this API.
