It turns out that access to config space before completing the feature negotiation is broken for big endian guests at least with QEMU hosts up to 6.1 inclusive. This affects any device that accesses config space in the validate callback: at the moment that is virtio-net with VIRTIO_NET_F_MTU but since 82e89ea077b9 ("virtio-blk: Add validation for block size in config space") that also started affecting virtio-blk with VIRTIO_BLK_F_BLK_SIZE. Further, unlike VIRTIO_NET_F_MTU which is off by default on QEMU, VIRTIO_BLK_F_BLK_SIZE is on by default, which resulted in lots of people not being able to boot VMs on BE.
The spec is very clear that what we are doing is legal so QEMU needs to be fixed, but given it's been broken for so many years and no one noticed, we need to give QEMU a bit more time before applying this.
Further, this patch is incomplete (does not check blk size is a power of two) and it duplicates the logic from nbd.
Revert for now, and we'll reapply a cleaner logic in the next release.
