KVM mmio in BE case assumes that data it recieves is in BE format. Vgic
operates in LE, so need byteswap data in BE case.

The VGIC code is complicated enough without adding endianness logic in
its depths.  I would strongly prefer that the VGIC emulation is an
endianness-agnostic software model of a device.  In fact, a better fix
for this whole situation would probably be to let the vgic_handle_mmio()
function take a typed union (or a u64)  instead of the byte array and
deal with any endianness conversion outside of the vgic itself.
