157cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	bool
158cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	help
159cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions
160cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old
161cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the
162cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's
163cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In
164cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap
165cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or
166cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It
167cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the
168cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>.  But just in case it
169cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 does, the use of the builtins is optional.
170cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse
171cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 Any architecture with load-and-swap or store-and-swap
172cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 instructions should set this. And it shouldn't hurt to set it
173cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 on architectures that don't have such instructions.
