This series eliminates target specifics in hw/virtio and replace them with
runtime functions where needed.

Performance has been measured with this automated fio benchmark, with
original instructions from Stefan [1].

$ git clone https://github.com/pbo-linaro/qemu-linux-stack -b 
x86_64_io_benchmark
$ cd qemu-linux-stack
$ ./build.sh
$ ./run.sh /path/to/qemu-system-x86_64

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20260202185233.GC405548@fedora/

Results are on 20 runs and expressed in kIOPS:
reference: mean=239.2 std_dev=3.48
with_series: mean=238.5 std_dev=3.46

Performance is on par, and within standard deviation.

- Include Philippe patches computing once device endianness to skip runtime
  checks on every access.

Philippe Mathieu-Daudé (3):
  hw/virtio: Constify virtio_is_big_endian() argument
  hw/virtio: Introduce VirtIODevice::access_is_big_endian boolean field
  hw/virtio: Use VirtIODevice::access_is_big_endian field

Pierrick Bouvier (6):
  target-info: add target_base_ppc, target_ppc and target_ppc64
  include/hw/virtio/virtio-access.h: remove target specifics define
  include/hw/ppc/spapr: extract SPAPR_MAX_RAM_SLOTS in a new header
  hw/virtio/vhost-user: make compilation unit common
  hw/virtio/virtio-qmp: make compilation unit common
  hw/virtio/: make all compilation units common
