-Note that the endian of fields and in the virtqueue is the native -endian of the guest, not little-endian as specified by this standard. +Note that when using the legacy interface, transitional +devices and drivers MUST use the native +endian of the guest as the endian of fields and in the virtqueue. +This is opposed to little-endian for non-legacy interface as +specified by this standard.  It is assumed that the host is already aware of the guest endian.
