No I didn't test big endian in the guest. I don't have any big endian VM image. Is it required for the test? I mean, is it possible to run a big endian DPDK userland application on a little endian kernel? (and if yes, is it known to work?) Maybe I could replace in the patch: #ifdef RTE_ARCH_PPC_64 By something like : #if defined(RTE_ARCH_PPC_64) && (RTE_BYTE_ORDER == RTE_LITTLE_ENDIAN) If you have the ability to test it easily, it would be appreciated :) Thanks for the review!
