[PATCH] Drop the exporting of empty <linux/byteorder/generic.h>.

[PATCH] Drop the exporting of empty <linux/byteorder/generic.h>.

[Robert P. J. Day]

Fix up the contents of <linux/byteorder/> so that it doesn't export a
content-free generic.h to user space.  This involves:

* Removing the __KERNEL__ tests from generic.h and dropping it from
  Kbuild.
* Wrapping the inclusions of generic.h in both big_endian.h and
  little_endian.h in __KERNEL__ tests.
* Shifting big_endian.h and little_endian.h from header-y to
  unifdef-y in Kbuild.

  what kernel subsystem would stuff like this fall under?
