David Woodhouse cf66bb93e0 byteorder: allow arch to opt to use GCC intrinsics for byteswapping
Since GCC 4.4, there have been __builtin_bswap32() and __builtin_bswap16()
intrinsics. A __builtin_bswap16() came a little later (4.6 for PowerPC,
48 for other platforms).

By using these instead of the inline assembler that most architectures
have in their __arch_swabXX() macros, we let the compiler see what's
actually happening. The resulting code should be at least as good, and
much *better* in the cases where it can be combined with a nearby load
or store, using a load-and-byteswap or store-and-byteswap instruction
(e.g. lwbrx/stwbrx on PowerPC, movbe on Atom).

When GCC is sufficiently recent *and* the architecture opts in to using
the intrinsics by setting CONFIG_ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP, they will be
used in preference to the __arch_swabXX() macros. An architecture which
does not set ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP will continue to use its own
hand-crafted macros.
