I know you are just moving the code, but that comment just isn't right.
Linux pretty much assumes that ULL is 64bit and U 32bit (UL varies).
So the UL constants should just be U ones (int isn't going to be 16 bits).
Not only that, but the code requires that the (__unn) casts don't
truncate the values. Performing the maths on a larger type isn't
going to change the value of the result.
Then we get to the integer promotion that does an implicit conversion
of the return of all the (__u16) casts back to signed integer.
So it may be better to leave/make the result of swap16() unsigned int
rather than casting it to __u16 and getting it promoted to int.
The only plausibly necessary cast is a (__u32) one in the result
of (except swap64()) to stop the compiler doing 64bit maths with the
result when the constant has a 64bit type (and all the other casts are
removed).
