big-endian. i386, pc532 and vax still include <machine/byte_swap.h>
and define macros for the {n,h}to{h,n}*() functions. mips also
defines some endian-independent assembly-code aliases for unaligned
memory accesses.
minor of libc and the major of libutil). For little-endian architectures
merge the bnswap() assembly versions with nto* and hton* using symbols
aliasing. Use symbol renaming for the bswap function in this case to avoid
namespace pollution.
Declare bswap* in machine/bswap.h, not machine/endian.h. For little-endian
machines, common code for inline macros go in machine/byte_swap.h
Sync libkern with libc.
Adjust #include in kernel sources for machine/bswap.h.
(_BYTE_ORDER, _BIG_ENDIAN, _LITTLE_ENDIAN).
Define old names from the ANSI ones if not _POSIX_SOURCE.
* Define _QUAD_HIGHWORD and _QUAD_LOWWORD properly when
_BYTE_ORDER == _BIG_ENDIAN.
Only assembly version for i386 bswap16 and bswap32 for now (bswap64 uses
bswap32). Contribution of assembly versions of these are welcome.
Add byte-swapping of ext2fs metadata for big-endian systems.
Tested on i386 and sparc.
Replace impliclty-sized types (u_long, u_short) used in
declarations of byteorder functions witho explicitly sized types
(u_int32_t, u_int16_t).
Avoids problems with using ntohl(foo) as (eg) an argument to printf().
