Denys Vlasenko bc27fb68aa include/uapi/linux/byteorder, swab: force inlining of some byteswap operations
Sometimes gcc mysteriously doesn't inline
very small functions we expect to be inlined. See

    https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=66122

With this .config:
http://busybox.net/~vda/kernel_config_OPTIMIZE_INLINING_and_Os,
the following functions get deinlined many times.
Examples of disassembly:

<get_unaligned_be16> (12 copies, 51 calls):
       66 8b 07                mov    (%rdi),%ax

       48 89 e5                mov    %rsp,%rbp
       86 e0                   xchg   %ah,%al
       5d                      pop    %rbp
       c3                      retq

<get_unaligned_be32> (12 copies, 135 calls):
