Comparing a string of 4 bytes only works in little-endian.

Adjust bulk bswap to only apply to the note payload.
Perform swapping of the note header manually; the magic
is defined so that it does not need a runtime swap.

I think this is more confusing than my version, but should do the
trick too.

I wasn't sure for my patch because I missed the

  for (int i = 0; i < n / 4; i++) { bswap32s() }

loop, - now I see where it gets performs the conversion, and see why my
patch works (and why it should work too) :)

Either way,

Also noted for qemu-stable.

Thanks,
