Well, the function where this is in already cares about the bitmap copy
only.  Can add a comment though.

I liked the __le32 in the config space structs more though, so I've
waded through the virtio_config.h header file.

To me it looks like we need separate virtio_cread() versions for
non-transitional drivers, which do __le32 -> u32 translation instead of
__virtio32 -> u32 translation, so I can have __le32 types in the config
space structs.

Or I could use vdev->config->get() directly instead of virtio_cread, but
I'll loose sparse checking that way.

Hmm.  Recommendations?  Better ideas?

cheers,
  Gerd
