[PATCH 3/4] x86: enable ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP

[David Woodhouse]

From: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse at intel.com>

With -mmovbe enabled (implicit with -march=atom), this allows the
compiler to use the movbe instruction. This doesn't have a significant
effect on code size (unlike on PowerPC), because the movbe instruction
actually takes as many bytes to encode as a simple mov and a bswap. But
for Atom in particular I believe it should give a performance win over
the mov+bswap alternative. That was kind of why movbe was invented in
the first place, after all...

I've done basic functionality testing with IPv6 and Legacy IP, but no
performance testing. The EFI firmware on my test box unfortunately no
longer starts up.
