All our supported compilers provide the __builtin_bswap()
functions. Drop the <byteswap.h> dependency.

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 ?

thanks

Yes, this is why I couldn't get ride of everything

After reading Paolo's suggestion to use qatomic*, I
am tempted to suggest qbswap* but I am still looking
for better alternatives...

Hum, maybe.  It's pretty ugly.  We could just leave those alone and hope the
system version is decent enough.

Mostly what I would like is to be able to be rid of the
configure machinery so we could just use a single
portable implementation.

Good news. Using the Haiku image provided by Alexander,
GCC is pretty recent and supports builtin atomic:

Haiku shredder 1 hrev54154+115 Jun 30 2020 15:20 x86_64 x86_64 Haiku

The <endian.h> include (/system/develop/headers/posix/endian.h)
only defines BYTE_ORDER.

Looking at FreeBSD, bswap*() are defined as macro:
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/blob/master/sys/sys/endian.h#L58
So we could eventually undefine them... but the manpage
describe them as functions [*]:

DESCRIPTION
    The bswap16(), bswap32(), and bswap64() functions return
    a byte order swapped integer.

So theoretically they could change the prototype still respecting
the documentation contract, and undefines wouldn't work anymore.

Would this be acceptable? Any clever idea?

That works for me.

But we'd be #defining our own macros that would mean that the out-of-line
functions would never be used.  So it still works.
