Subject: [PATCH v4 7/8] vhost: feature to set the vring endianness
This patch brings cross-endian support to vhost when used to implement
legacy virtio devices. Since it is a relatively rare situation, the
feature availability is controlled by a kernel config option (not set
by default).
The vq->is_le boolean field is added to cache the endianness to be
used for ring accesses. It defaults to native endian, as expected
by legacy virtio devices. When the ring gets active, we force little
endian if the device is modern. When the ring is deactivated, we
revert to the native endian default.
If cross-endian was compiled in, a vq->user_be boolean field is added
so that userspace may request a specific endianness. This field is
used to override the default when activating the ring of a legacy
device. It has no effect on modern devices.

Changes since v3:
- VHOST_SET_VRING_ENDIAN_LEGACY ioctl renamed to VHOST_SET_VRING_BIG_ENDIAN
- ioctl API is now: 0 for le, 1 for be, other values are EINVAL
- ioctl doesn't filter out modern devices
- ioctl stubs return ENOIOCTLCMD
- forbid endianness changes when vring is active
- logic now handled with vq->is_le and vq->user_be according to device
start/stop as suggested by Michael
