183cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	help
184cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions
185cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old
186cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the
187cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's
188cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In
189cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap
190cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or
191cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It
192cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the
193cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>.  But just in case it
194cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 does, the use of the builtins is optional.
