Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

+/*
+ * linux/byteorder_generic.h
+ * Generic Byte-reordering support
+ *
+ * Francois-Rene Rideau <fare@tunes.org> 19970707
+ * gathered all the good ideas from all asm-foo/byteorder.h into one file,
+ * cleaned them up.
+ * I hope it is compliant with non-GCC compilers.
+ * I decided to put __BYTEORDER_HAS_U64__ in byteorder.h,
+ * because I wasn't sure it would be ok to put it in types.h
+ * Upgraded it to 2.1.43
+ * Francois-Rene Rideau <fare@tunes.org> 19971012
+ * Upgraded it to 2.1.57
+ * to please Linus T., replaced huge #ifdef's between little/big endian
+ * by nestedly #include'd files.
+ * Francois-Rene Rideau <fare@tunes.org> 19971205
+ * Made it to 2.1.71; now a facelift:
+ * Put files under include/linux/byteorder/
+ * Split swab from generic support.
+ *
+ * TODO:
+ * = Regular kernel maintainers could also replace all these manual
+ * byteswap macros that remain, disseminated among drivers,
+ * after some grep or the sources...
+ * = Linus might want to rename all these macros and files to fit his taste,
+ * to fit his personal naming scheme.
+ * = it seems that a few drivers would also appreciate
+ * nybble swapping support...
+ * = every architecture could add their byteswap macro in asm/byteorder.h
+ * see how some architectures already do (i386, alpha, ppc, etc)
+ * = cpu_to_beXX and beXX_to_cpu might some day need to be well
+ * distinguished throughout the kernel. This is not the case currently,
+ * since little endian, big endian, and pdp endian machines needn't it.
+ * But this might be the case for, say, a port of Linux to 20/21 bit
+ * architectures (and F21 Linux addict around?).
+ */
+
+/*
+ * The following macros are to be defined by <asm/byteorder.h>:
+ *
+ * Conversion of long and short int between network and host format
+ * ntohl(__u32 x)
+ * ntohs(__u16 x)
+ * htonl(__u32 x)
+ * htons(__u16 x)
+ * It seems that some programs (which? where? or perhaps a standard? POSIX?)
+ * might like the above to be functions, not macros (why?).
+ * if that's true, then detect them, and take measures.
+ * Anyway, the measure is: define only ___ntohl as a macro instead,
+ * and in a separate file, have
+ * unsigned long inline ntohl(x){return ___ntohl(x);}
+ *
+ * The same for constant arguments
+ * __constant_ntohl(__u32 x)
+ * __constant_ntohs(__u16 x)
+ * __constant_htonl(__u32 x)
+ * __constant_htons(__u16 x)
+ *
+ * Conversion of XX-bit integers (16- 32- or 64-)
+ * between native CPU format and little/big endian format
+ * 64-bit stuff only defined for proper architectures
+ * cpu_to_[bl]eXX(__uXX x)
+ * [bl]eXX_to_cpu(__uXX x)
+ *
+ * The same, but takes a pointer to the value to convert
+ * cpu_to_[bl]eXXp(__uXX x)
+ * [bl]eXX_to_cpup(__uXX x)
+ *
+ * The same, but change in situ
+ * cpu_to_[bl]eXXs(__uXX x)
+ * [bl]eXX_to_cpus(__uXX x)
+ *
+ * See asm-foo/byteorder.h for examples of how to provide
+ * architecture-optimized versions
