Most of the existing macros don't work with assembler, due to the use of type casts and C functions from <linux/swab.h>. This patch abstracts out those operations and provides simple explicit versions for use in assembly code. __opcode_is_thumb32() and __opcode_is_thumb16() are also converted to do bitmask-based testing to avoid confusion if these are used in assembly code (the assembler typically treats all arithmetic values as signed). These changes avoid the need for the compiler to pre-evaluate constant expressions used to generate opcodes. By ensuring that the forms of these expressions can be evaluated directly by the assembler, we can just stringify the expressions directly into the asm during the preprocessing pass. The alternative approach (passing the evaluated expression via an inline asm "i" constraint) gets painful because the contents of the asm and the constraints must be kept in sync. This makes the resulting macros awkward to use. Retaining the C forms of the macros allows more efficient code to be generated when opcodes are generated programmatically at run- time, but there is no way to embed run-time-generated opcodes in asm() blocks.

The existing __mem_to_opcode_thumb32() is incorrect for BE32 platforms. However, these don't support Thumb-2 kernels, so this option is not so relevant for those platforms anyway. This operation is complicated by the lack of unaligned memory access support prior to ARMv6. Rather than provide a "working" macro which will probably won't get used (or worse, will get misused), this patch removes the macro for BE32 kernels. People manipulating Thumb opcodes prior to ARMv6 should almost certainly be splitting these operations into halfwords anyway, using __opcode_thumb32_{first,second,compose}() and the 16-bit opcode transformations.

This patch adds some endianness-agnostic helpers to convert machine instructions between canonical integer form and in-memory representation. A canonical integer form for representing instructions is also formalised here.

This patch breaks the ARM condition checking code out of nwfpe/fpopcode.{ch} into a standalone file for opcode operations. It also modifies the code somewhat for coding style adherence, and adds some temporary variables for increased readability.
