Merge tag 'for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mst/vhost
Pull virtio/vhost cross endian support from Michael Tsirkin:
"I have just queued some more bugfix patches today but none fix
regressions and none are related to these ones, so it looks like a
good time for a merge for -rc1.
The motivation for this is support for legacy BE guests on the new LE
hosts. There are two redeeming properties that made me merge this:
- It's a trivial amount of code: since we wrap host/guest accesses
anyway, almost all of it is well hidden from drivers.
- Sane platforms would never set flags like VHOST_CROSS_ENDIAN_LEGACY,
and when it's clear, there's zero overhead (as some point it was
tested by compiling with and without the patches, got the same
stripped binary).
Maybe we could create a Kconfig symbol to enforce the second point:
prevent people from enabling it eg on x86. I will look into this"
