That's a bit of a poor test then. Especially on architectures with a
load-and-swap instruction where it really shouldn't be any slower at
all.

(Although since GCC doesn't have an __attribute__((littleendian)) I'm
not entirely sure how to entice it into _using_ said instruction for the
purpose of the test... I think the kernel does manage somehow though, if
you get the sources _just_ right.)
