This reverts commit b3b77c8caef1750ebeea1054e39e358550ea9f55, which was
also totally broken (see commit 0d2daf5cc858 that reverted the crc32
version of it). As reported by Stephen Rothwell, it causes problems on
big-endian machines:

The kernel has never had that crazy "__BYTE_ORDER == __LITTLE_ENDIAN"
model. It's not how we do things, and it isn't how we _should_ do
things. So don't go there.

Linux does not define __BYTE_ORDER in its endian header files which makes
some header files bend backwards to get at the current endian. Lets
#define __BYTE_ORDER in big_endian.h/litte_endian.h to make it easier for
header files that are used in user space too.
In userspace the convention is that
1. _both_ __LITTLE_ENDIAN and __BIG_ENDIAN are defined,
2. you have to test for e.g. __BYTE_ORDER == __BIG_ENDIAN.

The first step to make swab.h a regular header that will
include an asm/swab.h with arch overrides.
Avoid the gratuitous differences introduced in the new
linux/swab.h by naming the ___constant_swabXX bits and
__fswabXX bits exactly as found in the old implementation
in byteorder/swab[b].h
Use this new swab.h in byteorder/[big|little]_endian.h and
remove the two old swab headers.
Although the inclusion of asm/byteorder.h looks strange in
linux/swab.h, this will allow each arch to move the actual
arch overrides for the swab bits in an asm file and then
the includes can be cleaned up without requiring a flag day
for all arches at once.
Keep providing __fswabXX in case some userspace was using them
directly, but the revised __swabXX should be used instead in
any new code and will always do constant folding not dependent
on the optimization level, which means the __constant versions
can be phased out in-kernel.
Arches that use the old-style arch macros will lose their
optimized versions until they move to the new style, but at
least they will still compile. Many arches have already moved
and the patches to move the remaining arches are trivial.

This is needed during the transition to the new byteorder headers as the
swabb.h functionality will be provided from asm/byteorder.h in the new
version. To avoid breakage on arches still using the old implementation,
provide swabb.h from asm/byteorder.h as well.

Changeset 7fa897b91a3ea0f16c2873b869d7a0eef05acff4 ("ide: trivial sparse
annotations") created an IDE bootup regression on big-endian systems.
In drivers/ide/ide-iops.c, function ide_fixstring() we now have the
loop:
for (p = end ; p != s;)
be16_to_cpus((u16 *)(p -= 2));
which will never terminate on big-endian because in such
a configuration be16_to_cpus() evaluates to "do { } while (0)"
Therefore, always evaluate the arguments to nop endian transformation
operations.

Fix up the contents of <linux/byteorder/> so that it doesn't export a
content-free generic.h to user space. This involves:
* Removing the __KERNEL__ tests from generic.h and dropping it from
Kbuild.
* Wrapping the inclusions of generic.h in both big_endian.h and
little_endian.h in __KERNEL__ tests.
* Shifting big_endian.h and little_endian.h from header-y to
unifdef-y in Kbuild.

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!
