If we want to support targets that can change endianness (modern PPC and ARM for the moment), we need to add a per-CPU class method to be called from the virtio code. The virtio_ prefix in the name is a hint for people to avoid misusage (aka. anywhere but from the virtio code).
The default behaviour is to return the compile-time default target endianness.
