[PATCH v7 08/46] virtio: memory access APIs

virtio 1.0 makes all memory structures LE, so we need APIs to conditionally do a byteswap on BE architectures. To make it easier to check code statically, add virtio specific types for multi-byte integers in memory. Add low level wrappers that do a byteswap conditionally, these will be useful e.g
