asm/byteorder.h is the file included everywhere else, and before my
patches, linux/byteorder.h didn't even exist.  Thus, when preparing my
patches I made sure that including asm/byteorder.h continued to be the
way to get this functionality.

I could add another patch  on top that makes linux/byteorder the one we
want included and search/replace the existing asm includes, but I thought
that was a bit too big to do in one go.

If people think this is the way to go, I'll prepare a patch to change the
includes.

Already working on an update to unaligned_access.txt, I'll get to
byteorder next.
