I think the fallback should really just use the __builtin_bswap
helpers instead of the ___constant_swab variants. The output
would be the same, but you can skip patch 1/2.

I would also suggest dumbing down the macro a bit so you can
still find the definition with 'git grep __arch_swab64'. Ideally
just put the function body into a macro but leave the three
separate inline function definitions.
