This small series is a first effort to fix client-side endianess
problems. With the patches applied (plus the ones for spice-common), we
can connect to and play with a guest running on a LE machine with a BE
client. However, there a few fields things that are not working properly
yet, like:
- connect to a guest running the vd_agent: it will cause a crash on the
client and it is related to the QUIC code.
- colors are inverted: this is what I have for now:

If you look carefully to the image, you'll realize that the XRGB bytes are
inverted. Solving this should not be complicated, but won't be part of my
effort for now.

Ah, another thing that is worth it to mention is that all tests were done
using a x86_64 guest/host and a PPC client.
