It is sometimes useful to compile individual drivers with optimization
disabled for easier debugging. Currently drivers which use htonl() and
similar functions don't compile with -O0. This patch fixes it. It also
removes obsolete and misleading comments. This header is not for
userspace, so we don't have to care about strange programs these comments
mention.
(akpm: -O0 probably isn't a good idea, but this code looks pretty crufty and
unuseful)

Constant folding does not work for the swabXX() byte swapping functions,
and the C versions optimize poorly.
Attempting to initialize a global variable to swab16(0x1234) or put
something like "case swab32(42):" in a switch statement will not compile.
It can work, swab.h just isn't doing it correctly. This patch fixes that.
Contrary to the comment in asm-i386/byteorder.h, gcc does not recognize the
"C" version of swab16 and turn it into efficient code. gcc can do this,
just not with the current code. The simple function:
u16 foo(u16 x) { return swab16(x); }
Would compile to:
movzwl %ax, %eax
movl %eax, %edx
shrl $8, %eax
sall $8, %edx
orl %eax, %edx
With this patch, it will compile to:
rolw $8, %ax
I also attempted to document the maze different macros/inline functions
that are used to create the final product.

include/linux/byteorder/pdp_endian.h is completely unused, and the comment in

This patch comments the fact that although passing le64_to_cpup et
al. is within the intended use of the byteorder macros, using
get_unaligned is the recommended way to go.

Does declaring a function to return a const value actually mean something to
gcc?
Dunno. Kill it and replace sone `__inline__'s with `inline' too.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
