The vring.c code currently assumes that guest and host endianness match,
which is not true for a number of cases:
- emulating targets with a different endianness than the host
- bi-endian targets, where the correct endianness depends on the virtio
device
- upcoming support for the virtio-1 standard mandates little-endian
accesses even for big-endian targets and hosts
Make sure to use accessors that depend on the virtio device.
Note that dataplane now needs to be built per-target.
