I guess philosophically do we expect to eventually convert all frontends to the new API or only those that want to be in the single binary? Should I just be more explicit: >> * >> * These are all used by the various frontends and have to be host >> - * aware to ensure things are store in target order. >> + * aware to ensure things are store in target order.

New front-ends should not be using these APIs at all. They should be using the endian neutral registers.h as should any architecture that intends to be included in an eventual single QEMU binary. -- Alex Bennée Virtualisation Tech Lead @ Linaro
