Using byte swizzling instrincts I supposed. On the other hand asm/byteorder.h really shouldn't be user-exposed to start with.
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.
