Do you actually need to provide the __delay function here?
I think it's really only used by the calibrate_delay() function
that you don't need.

This file basically just optimizes unaligned endianess conversion, but
you don't provide an optimized swab.h, which is the regular endianess
conversion.

I think it would less code and more useful to provide your own swab.h
and use the generic unaligned.h.
