Well, as I understand things __virtio32 implies byteorder depends on
whenever we are using VERSION_1 or not. And non-transitional drivers
should not need it as everything is by definition little endian.

So, yes, your suggestion to just require VERSION_1 in the driver implies
in my eyes that there should be no reason to use __virtio32 instead of
__le32.

Or do I miss something here?

cheers,
Gerd
