reverse_register_16:

        push r17                2 cycles (internal ram)
        push r18                2 cycles (internal ram)

Now
R16 value to transfer
R17 result
R18 counter

        ldi r18, 0x08           1 cycle
loop:   
        ror r16                 8 cycles
        rol r17                 8 cycles
        dec r18                 8 cycles
        brne loop               17 cycles

        mov r16, r17            1 cycle
        pop r18                 2 cycles (internal ram)
        pop r17                 2 cycles (internal ram)

51 cycles total without wasting any register.
10 words flash.
51 cycles is very expensive. Any better ideas here :-)

Best asm contest is open now....
