Please use <asm/byteorder.h> rather than making Yet Another Define. 
Note that the subdirectory asm gets symlinked to the appropriate 
arch-specific subdirectory and then the right endian munching is 
selected and it Just Works[tm].

PowerPC example:
<http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=blob;f=include/asm-ppc/byteorder.h;h=3f5bcf63a1f980eb0c5e95e458119f55f5855274;hb=HEAD>
