1. Make the feature test work by excluding known-deficient processors, so
we don't have to maintain a complete list of all the processors that support
REV and REV16.
2. Don't abuse 'register' to get an effect similar to GCC's +l constraint,
but which was unnecessarily restrictive.
3. Fix __swap64md so _x isn't clobbered, breaking 64-bit swaps.
4. Make <byteswap.h> (which declars bswap_16 and friends) use <endian.h>
rather than <sys/endian.h>, so we get the machine-dependent implementations.

ARMv6 ISA has several instructions to handle data in different byte order.
For endian conversion (byte swapping) of single data words, it might be a
good idea to use the REV/REV16 instruction simply.

ARMv6 onwards. These architectures provide the load-linked, store-conditional pair of ldrex/strex whose use
is recommended in place of 'swp'. Also, the description of the 'swp' instruction in the ARMv6 reference
manual states that the swap operation does not include any memory barrier guarantees.This fix attempts to
address these issues by providing an atomic swap implementation using ldrex/strex under _ARM_HAVE_LDREX_STREX
macro. This Fix is verified on ST Ericsson's U8500 platform and Submitted on behalf of a third-party:
Surinder-pal SINGH from STMicroelectronics.
