asm/byteorder.h is at least useful for klibc; it can, of course, be
completely done in klibc itself as long as bi-endian platforms have
appropriate intrinsic defines.
klibc (ab)uses the __le16_to_cpu() et al macros; the reason for that is
just to cut down on the amount of architecture-specific code that has to
be written for klibc itself.
