byteorder: add a new include/linux/swab.h to define byteswapping functions
Collect the implementations from include/linux/byteorder/swab.h, swabb.h
in swab.h
The functionality provided covers:
u16 swab16(u16 val) - return a byteswapped 16 bit value
u32 swab32(u32 val) - return a byteswapped 32 bit value
u64 swab64(u64 val) - return a byteswapped 64 bit value
u32 swahw32(u32 val) - return a wordswapped 32 bit value
u32 swahb32(u32 val) - return a high/low byteswapped 32 bit value
Similar to above, but return swapped value from a naturally-aligned pointer
u16 swab16p(u16 *p)
u32 swab32p(u32 *p)
u64 swab64p(u64 *p)
u32 swahw32p(u32 *p)
u32 swahb32p(u32 *p)
Similar to above, but swap the value in-place (in-situ)
void swab16s(u16 *p)
void swab32s(u32 *p)
void swab64s(u64 *p)
void swahw32s(u32 *p)
void swahb32s(u32 *p)
Arches can override any of these with an optimized version by defining an
inline in their asm/byteorder.h (example given for swab16()):
u16 __arch_swab16() {}
#define __arch_swab16 __arch_swab16
