Memory regions configured as DEVICE_BIG_ENDIAN (or DEVICE_NATIVE_ENDIAN on
big-endian guest) behave incorrectly when the memory access 'size' is smaller
than the implementation 'access_size'.
In the following code segment from access_with_adjusted_size():
if (memory_region_big_endian(mr)) {
for (i = 0; i < size; i += access_size) {
r |= access_fn(mr, addr + i, value, access_size,
(size - access_size - i) * 8, access_mask, attrs);
}
(size - access_size - i) * 8 is the number of bits that will arithmetic
shift the current value.
Currently we can only 'left' shift a read() access, and 'right' shift a write().
When the access 'size' is smaller than the implementation, we get a negative
number of bits to shift.
For the read() case, a negative 'left' shift is a 'right' shift :)
However since the 'shift' type is unsigned, there is currently no way to
right shift.
Fix this by changing the access_fn() prototype to handle signed shift values,
and modify the memory_region_shift_read|write_access() helpers to correctly
arithmetic shift the opposite direction when the 'shift' value is negative.
