I actually agree with Greg here. We implicitly create different VGA adapters
today depending on TARGET_WORDS_BIGENDIAN. The FB endianness should have
been separate devices (BE / LE) or runtime configuration from the beginning.
Anything that checks TARGET_WORDS_BIGENDIAN in hw/ is very likely to do
something pretty wrong ;).
Directly, yes, it's a bit of a red flag. But a huge % of devices do
indirectly, by marking their memory regions as DEVICE_NATIVE_ENDIAN.
That's ok and the expected ABI to devices. It's TARGET_WORDS_BIGENDIAN
that's a good marker that something's wrong.
