Well, after some quick digging, here's what I found.  If we include
<asm/byteoder.h>, and deal with some __'s, which are exported outside
of the kernel, we can use these.  But, it's getting late and my brain
is giving up after being fried for a while today, so I could be wrong,
but I _think_ we can use asm/byteorder.h, possibly make some changes
to mkbugboot/mkprep/mktree and it'll just work (The first two only work
on big endian or x86.  Not other LE machines, I think :))
