Subject: [PATCH 1/3] vhost: add VHOST_VRING_F_LEGACY_BIG_ENDIAN flag

The VHOST_VRING_F_LEGACY_BIG_ENDIAN flag informs the kernel that the
associated device is big endian. Of course, this only makes sense for
legacy virtio devices since modern virtio devices are always little
endian.

It will be used by the vhost memory accessors to byteswap vring data when
we have a legacy device, in case host and guest endianness differ.
