If target is bi-endian (ppc64, arm), the virtio_legacy_is_cross_endian() indeed returns the runtime state of the virtio device. However, it returns false unconditionally in the general case. This sounds a bit strange given the name of the function.
This helper is only useful for vhost actually, where indeed non bi-endian targets don't have to deal with cross-endian issues. This patch moves the helper to vhost.c and gives it a more appropriate name.
