That's fine, I know you can fix stuff :-) I'm just really annoyed that
upstream qemu remained broken for so long (and still is) while the whole
thing derailed into a mostly pointless discussion on endianness and
nobody (including Alexey) hollered loud enough that the breakage was
fairly extensive

(BTW. The EHCI problem doesn't seem limited to SLOF, from what I
remember of what Alexey showed me today, the Linux EHCI driver also
segfaults qemu).

Cheers,
Ben.
