Migrate VMs between different-endianess hosts

This patch enables the migration of Qemu VMs between hosts of different endianess. I tested this by migrating a i686 VM between a x86 and ppc64 host. I am converting the 'int's in the VM's state header to uint32_t assuming this doesn't break compatibility with existing deployments other than Linux.
