Subject: [PATCH-mm] kernel: add common endian load/store API

Add the following API for the 6 endian types in the kernel
__le16,__le32, __le64, __be16, __be32, __be64:

u16 load_le16(const __le16 *p)
u16 load_le16_noalign(const __le16 *p)

void store_le16(__le16 *p, u16 val)
void store_le16_noalign(__le16 *p, u16 val)

get/put_unaligned are being replaced because get/put in the kernel
usually implies some kind of reference is being taken/released, which
is not the case here.  They work with void * pointers which defeats
sparse checking. Also, put_unaligned takes its arguments in the
opposite order from what is expected.  The new names are chosen
to allow the APIs to live in parallel without breaking compilation.
The get/put_unaligned API can be removed once all users are converted.

load_le16 is a synonym for the existing le16_to_cpup and is added to
be symmetric with the load_le16_noalign API.  On arches where unaligned
access is OK, the unaligned calls are replaced with aligned calls.  This
name is also shorter than le16_to_cpup which will hopefully encourage its
use as it is generally faster than dereferencing the pointer and using
le16_to_cpu.  The only case where this does not hold is when taking the
address of a stack variable, as the work to get the stack variable address
generally outweighs just using le16_to_cpu directly.

store_le16 is a new API and is added to be symmetric with the unaligned
functions.  It is implemented as a macro to allow compile-time byteswapping
when the value is a constant.  This will also allow use in many places
currently that are of the form:

*(__le16 *)ptr = cpu_to_le16(foo);

In addition, some drivers/filesystems/arches already provide this API
privately, which will allow them to be consolidated into this common
code.
