Subject: endianness and sparse warnings

With `make  C=1 CF="-D__CHECK_ENDIAN__"', you can let sparse check for bad
handling of endian-annotated data.

Unfortunately several of the accessors for endian-annotated data do not cause
sparse warnings.

Summarized:
  - [bl]e{16,32,64}_to_cpu() is OK
  - [bl]e{16,32,64}_to_cpup() (aka get_aligned_[bl]e{16,32,64}() ;-) is OK
  - get_unaligned_[bl]e{16,32,64} is not OK
  - __get_unaligned_[bl]e() is partially OK, as long as you don't use it on
    non-annotated data, but
      o it's meant for internal use only
      o it incorrectly causes sparse warnings when assigning the resulting
        value to a non-annotated variable
 
To check it for yourself, plug in the code below into any kernel source file.
 
#include <asm/unaligned.h>

__u8 d8;
__u16 d16;
__u32 d32;
__u64 d64;

__be16 be16;
