I have a patch floating around here that adds a __builtin_bswap32/64,
which could generate bswap on i486, if anybody is interested. I was
planning to recognize bswaps from C Code too, but I'm not sure that
will work out... I think it would be quite useful, though, since byte
swapping often occurs in performance-critical code like emulators.
