You forget that IP networking is all big endian, so these will be using
the byte swapping too (search it for htons/ntohs/htonl/ntohl).

Which compiler version? gcc 4.5.4 doesn't do this, except for the 16-bit
swap, so I doubt that any later compiler does.

If this is __KERNEL__ only, it should not be in a uapi header. UAPI
headers get exported to userland, this is not userland interface code.
IT should be in arch/arm/include/asm/swab.h
