It is ok for s390 at the moment. We are still working on making userspace 
ready and I plan to change the guest<->host for s390 anyway. I try to make 
these changes for drivers/s390/kvm/kvm_virtio.c before 2.6.26. The main 
reason is, that we are currently limited to around 80 devices. I am not sure, 
if I should change the allocation of the virtqueues and descriptors to guest 
memory as well. 

Back to your patch:
I have still some ideas about virtio between little endian and big endian 
systems, but it requires more and different marshalling anyway - even on 
driver level. No idea yet how to solve that properly.

Consider your change

this is missing a sizeof(v), no?
