[PATCH] [RFC] #define __BYTE_ORDER

From: Joakim Tjernlund
Date: Wed Mar 17 2010 - 14:11:15 EST


Linux does not define __BYTE_ORDER in its endian header files
which makes some header files bend backwards to get at the
current endian. Lets #define __BYTE_ORDER in big_endian.h/litte_endian.h
to make it easier for header files that are used in user space too.

This patch has not been tested so watch out for breakage.
