The current protocol used in QEMU backend is 'native' endianness, since it is only accessible over UNIX sockets & thus doesn't need to worry about endianness mismatch. When we add off-host remote management we'll need to ensure that all the data types are fixed sizes (eg int32_t instead of int) and that we pick a fixed byteorder. Rich Jones' work is using SunRPC as the network transport which, IIRC, mandates fixed sizes, and will always use network byte order to ensure compatabilty across archs.
