When a BE guest reads capacity from an LE host virtio-blk device or vice
versa, it will get the dwords of the qword field swapped.
As virtio-blk is the only one with such a quirk,
and as non-pci transports don't do byte-swaps at all,
solve this with a bit of device-specific hackery in
virtio-pci.

I don't seem to be able to boot any big-endian
guests ATM, so this is only compile-tested - sending
this out for early feedback/flames.
Testing reports also wellcome!

I thought think this is not valid C?

Yes, v2 I just sent fixes this.
Thanks for paying attention.
