Thanks for your hint. Yes, as you can see from tcg/tci/README,the test
matrix of TCI
did not include big endian hosts up to now. Testing on an emulated big
endian Malta
system is terribly slow, and I have no access to real big endian
hardware fortests.

But I think that such changes are independent of this patchwhich can be
applied as it is.
