Because this is always little endian, I would write it as uint8_t[16][16].
Maybe. That isn't altogether handy for TCG, since we'll be wanting to bswap
these buffers (probably in uint64_t chunks).
X86XSaveArea will be used only when loading/saving state using
xsave, not for executing regular instructions.

In X86CPU, the
data is already stored as XMMReg unions (the one with the
XMM_[BWDQ] helpers).
Of course. But those unions are arranged to be in big-endian format on
big-endian hosts. So we need to swap the data back to little-endian format for
storage into guest memory.
