A pointer to a size_t variable was passed as the void * pointer to lduw_p() in virtio_net_receive(). Instead of acting on the 16-bit value this caused failure on big-endian hosts.
Avoid this issue in the future by using stw_p() instead. In general we should use ld*_p() for loading from target memory and st*_p() for storing to target memory anyway, not the other way around. Also tighten up a correct use of lduw_p() when stw_p() should be used instead in virtio_net_get_config().
