Subject: [PATCH] swab: fix sparse warnings

There are a lot of sparse warnings in networking code where a constant
ends up being byte swapped caused because there is no explicit
prototype for the __builtin_bswap functions.  Simplest workaround
is to just avoid them here, and use the normal swap routines when
doing sparse checks.
