Subject: inclusion of <endian.h> in a kernel header? ok or not?

Is it ok to #include <endian.h> in a kernel header file.
This is done in linux/patchkey.h and linux/soundcard.h but other
places seem to prefer <asm/byteorder.h>

Basically I am looking for a simple way to isolate a piece of endian
specific code (something like #ifdef BIG_ENDIAN ...#endif
