      Description

      WD currently has a note on legacy endian-ness
      before each structure.
      This violates the clean separation of legacy
      in separate sections.
      It's not too bad but we can improve this
      before 1.0.

      For legacy it's mostly consistent:
      device specific stuff and in-memory stuff is native endian

      Exceptions:
      PCI common virtio header is little endian
      but it is not documented using a struct.
      (balloon is only exception).

      CCW already uses BEXX

      MMIO isn't using C structs at all.
