When using shadow doorbells, the event index and the doorbell values are written to host memory. Prior to this patch, the values written would erroneously be written in host endianness. This causes trouble on big-endian platforms. Fix this by adding missing endian conversions. This issue was noticed by Guenter while testing various big-endian platforms under QEMU[1]. A similar fix required for hw/nvme in QEMU is up for review as well[2].

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
