Why restrict this to 8 bit rotate of a 16 bit value? Shouldn't it apply to
a 16 bit rotate of a 32 bit value, or 32 bit rotate of 64 bit value?
That isn't a byteswap, but halfword swap or wordswap.
32 bit byteswap reverses 0x01020304 byte ordering into 0x04030201,
while rotate
16 is 0x03040102.
If this patch gets approved as is I'll add a comment to explain this as this is
the third time someone ask me this.
Then I don't feel like such a bloody idiot after reading Jakub's reply :-)
