Hi Rusty,

I have a late question :-)

> There is also a generic implementation of config space which drivers can query

After thinking about that for a while, is there a special reason the config
field is defined as little endian? The only reason I can come up with, is to
use virtio for cross platform emulators, lets say a ppc emulates an x86 system
with virtio devices instead of real ones.

Do you have other reasons for a fixed endianess?
