VirtIO devices now remember which endianness they're operating in in order to support targets which may have guests of either endianness, such as powerpc. This endianness state is transferred in a subsection of the virtio device's information. With virtio-rng this can lead to an abort after a loadvm hitting the assert() in virtio_is_big_endian(). This can be reproduced by doing a migrate and load from file on a bi-endian target with a virtio-rng device. The actual guest state isn't particularly important to triggering this. The cause is that virtio_rng_load_device() calls virtio_rng_process() which accesses the ring and thus needs the endianness. However, virtio_rng_process() is called via virtio_load() before it loads the subsections. Essentially the ->load callback in VirtioDeviceClass should only be used for actually reading the device state from the stream, not for post-load re-initialization. This patch fixes the bug by moving the virtio_rng_process() after the call to virtio_load(). Better yet would be to convert virtio to use vmsd and have the virtio_rng_process() as a post_load callback, but that's a bigger project for another day. This is bugfix, and should be considered for the 2.2 branch.
