Subject[RFC PATCH] kernel: add byteorder macros with alignment fixups
From
Date
A common pattern in the kernel (especially networking) is:

le32_to_cpu(get_unaligned((__le32 *)x));

Repeat for various combinations of le/be and 64/32/16 bit. Add
a variant that operates on possibly unaligned pointers to
byteorder/generic.h
