Hi Coly and Andrew,

This patch breaks compilation if linux headers files are not installed
(reported at https://github.com/gnubee-git/GnuBee_Docs/issues/75).
Following fixes it.

Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] lib: don't depend on linux headers being installed.

gen_crc64table requires linux include files to be installed
in /usr/include/linux.  This is a new requrement so hosts that
could previously build the kernel, now cannot.

gen_crc64table makes this requirement by including <linux/swab.h>,
but nothing from that header is actaully used.

So remove the #include, so that the linux headers no longer
need to be installed.
