powerpc: Enable ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP
By using the compiler intrinsics instead of hand-crafted opaque inline assembler for byte-swapping, we let the compiler see what's actually happening and it gets to use lwbrx/stwbrx instructions instead of a normal load/store coupled with a sequence of rlwimi instructions to move bits around. Compiled-tested only. It gave a code size reduction of almost 4% for ext2, and more like 2.5% for ext3/ext4. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> Acked-by: H.
