bitrev8() is used on every transferred byte for certain types of
ISDN connections, ie. with a steady rate of 8000 bytes/sec.
Depending on the driver, it will be called for individual data
bytes or possibly a small number of bytes at a time, typically
not more than 64, and typically in interrupt context.

I'd expect the table driven version to perform better in those
circumstances.

Thanks,
Tilman
