We rebase fw_cfg_init_mem() to the new function for compatibility with
current callers.
The behavior of the (big endian) multi-byte data reads is best shown
with a qtest session. Here, we are reading the first six bytes of
the UUID
$ arm-softmmu/qemu-system-arm -M virt -machine accel=qtest \
-qtest stdio -uuid 4600cb32-38ec-4b2f-8acb-81c6ea54f2d8
>>> writew 0x9020008 0x0200
<<< OK
>>> readl 0x9020000
<<< OK 0x000000004600cb32
Remember this is big endian. On big endian machines, it is stored
directly as 0x46 0x00 0xcb 0x32.
On a little endian machine, we have to first swap it, so that it becomes
0x32cb0046. When written to memory, it becomes 0x46 0x00 0xcb 0x32
again.
Reading byte-by-byte works too, of course:
>>> readb 0x9020000
<<< OK 0x0000000000000038
>>> readb 0x9020000
<<< OK 0x00000000000000ec
Here only a single byte is read at a time, so they are read in order
similar to the 1-byte data port that is already in PPC and SPARC
machines.
