I'm trying... :-/

Question though:

Is there a call in qemu which is equivalent to cpu_to_leXX()? The
exec/cpu-all.h is having compilation issues for me because the
TARGET_BIG_ENDIAN is not defined (it is defined in a meson generated header).

So I'm afraid that the tswapXX() calls are not what I'm supposed to use. Is
this true? Are those some sort of internal call?
