A silly question,  compare to using set()/get() directly, what's the value
of the accessors macro here?

Thanks
get/set don't convert to the native endian, I guess that's why
drivers use cread/cwrite. It is also nice that there's type
safety, checking the correct integer width is used.


Yes, but this is simply because a macro is used here, how about just doing things similar like virtio_cread_bytes():

static inline void virtio_cread(struct virtio_device *vdev,
                      unsigned int offset,
                      void *buf, size_t len)


And do the endian conversion inside?

Thanks
