You are right, the endina-ness is not an issue, so the commit log I
wrote is wrong, but I still think the patch is required, because MMIO
spec says the same as PCI.
	The driver MUST only use 32 bit wide and aligned reads and writes to
	access the control registers described
	in table 4.1. For the device-specific configuration space, the driver
	MUST use 8 bit wide accesses for 8 bit
	wide fields, 16 bit wide and aligned accesses for 16 bit wide fields and
	32 bit wide and aligned accesses for
	32 and 64 bit wide fields.


Here's a better commit log:

virtio_mmio: fix access width for mmio

Going over the virtio mmio code, I noticed that it doesn't correctly
access modern device config values using "natural" accessors: it uses
readb to get/set them byte by byte, while the virtio 1.0 spec explicitly states:

	4.2.2.2 Driver Requirements: MMIO Device Register Layout

	...

	The driver MUST only use 32 bit wide and aligned reads and writes to
	access the control registers described in table 4.1.
	For the device-specific configuration space, the driver MUST use
	8 bit wide accesses for 8 bit wide fields, 16 bit wide and aligned
	accesses for 16 bit wide fields and 32 bit wide and aligned accesses for
	32 and 64 bit wide fields.

Borrow code from virtio_pci_modern to do this correctly.

Makes sense now, right?
Want me to repost or can you just tweak the commit log?
