Subject: [RFC PATCH] kernel: add -D__CHECK_ENDIAN__ by default

The noise level with endian checking is getting to the point where
having this enabled by default wouldn't be too bad.  If this were to
go in for the 2.6.30 devel cycle it may motivate the last sections that
are still particularly noisy (sound/, drivers/scsi/ come to mind)
