I have applied this to target-arm.next with a tweaked commit message: arm: explicitly mark device loads as little-endian Behaviour of emulated devices should not depend on the endianness of the CPU, so avoid using the endian-dependent load and store functions in the PXA2xx and OMAP display devices. These devices are little endian when they do DMA access. (Since ARM softmmu is always compiled as little endian, this means that the endian-dependent load and store functions are always little endian, so this commit makes no functionally visible change.) thanks -- PMM
