Hmm, I don't think you compile-tested this? The gcc plugins are build in
userspace without the kernel headers (i.e. no "swap" macro). I'd be
happy to avoid open-coding this, but that would require a new macro
specific to the gcc plugins (to avoid std::swap). Also, there are two
other open-coded swaps in here that could be changed too. :)
