I suppose if we wanted to just use the __builtin_bswap*
implementation on all hosts (ie drop the special casing
of CONFIG_MACHINE_BSWAP_H/FreeBSD/Haiku) we'd need to
rename our macros to avoid potential conflicts with the
versions in the system headers there in case they were
pulled in via some other path ?
