There was another question that went unanswered:

And I might even double down with "does anyone care about ivshmem on
big-endian hosts?"

Just defining the protocol to be "64-bit little-endian" would be nice,
even if it would break those 2 people that respectively used ivshmem on
32-bit Intel and big-endian PPC.  (And maybe also the one guy who used
it on 32-bit big-endian PPC!).
