This allows running big endian and little endian guest side by side using
cut & paste between them.

There is a general design idea that swapping should come as close to
virtio_read/virtio_write as possible. In particular, the protocol
between vdagent and vdagentd is guest-specific and in native endian.
With muliple layers of headers this is a bit tricky. A few message types
have to be swapped fully before passing through vdagentd.

Hi Michal,

Please send these patches to spice-devel mailing list.

Thanks,

v2:
 - introduce helper functions to swap (a portion of) a message wholesale
 - pollute fewer places with swapping sometimes at the cost of slightly
   more verbose code
