Dear Linux Kernel Activists,

my swab and ufs patch did not work out-of-the-box on linux 2.1.39,
so I modified it accordingly.

The features have not changed:
* cleanup of swab code in linux/include/*/byteorder.h
* cleanup and bugfix for swab code in the ufs fs driver

User-visible enhancement is:
* allows a linux computer of either byteorder to simultaneously
read multiple ufs partitions of both byteorders

Conclusion:
* for 2.0 kernels, still fetch

* for 2.1 kernels, now fetch
