This is another attempt to avoid a regression in wwn_to_u64() after
that started using get_unaligned_be64(), which in turn ran into a
bug on gcc-4.9 through 6.1.

The regression got introduced due to the combination of two
separate workarounds (e3bde9568d99 and ef3fb2422ffe) that each
try to sidestep distinct problems with gcc behavior (code growth
and increased stack usage). Unfortunately after both have been
applied, a more series gcc bug has been uncovered, leading to
incorrect object code that discards part of a function and
causes undefined behavior.

As part of this problem is how __builtin_constant_p gets evaluated
on an argument passed by reference into an inline function, this
avoids the use of __builtin_constant_p() for all architectures
that set CONFIG_ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP. Most architectures do not
set ARCH_SUPPORTS_OPTIMIZED_INLINING, which means they probably
do not suffer from the problem in the qla2xxx driver, but they
might still run into it elsewhere.

Both of the original workarounds were only merged in the 4.6 kernel,
and the bug that is fixed by this patch should only appear if
both are there, so we probably don't need to backport the fix.
On the other hand, it works by simplifying the code path and
should not have any negative effects.

I've built a few thousand kernels (arm32 with gcc-6.1) with the patch applied,
but didn't see this one. What target architecture and compiler version produced
this? Does it go away if you add a (__u32) cast? I don't even know what the
warning is trying to tell me.

heh, I didn't actually read it.

Hopefully we can write this off as a gcc-4.4.4 glitch. 4.8.4 is OK.

I wonder if this doesn't break switch statement that requires a
constant expression, there few cases like this over the kernel.

switch(val) {
case cpu_to_le32(IXGBE_RXDADV_STAT_FCSTAT_FCPRSP):

I'm asking because sparse and checkpatch doesn't agree on that ping
sparse issues
'error: bad constant expression'
When changing to __constant_cpu_to_le32 sparse is happy but
checkpatch.ps is complaining
__constant_cpu_to_le32 should be cpu_to_le32

The patch description for the last change has a good explanation:

commit 8634de6d254462e6953b7dac772a1df4f44c8030
Author: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@redhat.com>
Date:   Fri May 6 09:22:25 2016 -0500

    compiler-gcc: require gcc 4.8 for powerpc __builtin_bswap16()
    
    gcc support for __builtin_bswap16() was supposedly added for powerpc in
    gcc 4.6, and was then later added for other architectures in gcc 4.8.
    
    However, Stephen Rothwell reported that attempting to use it on powerpc
    in gcc 4.6 fails with:
    
      lib/vsprintf.c:160:2: error: initializer element is not constant
      lib/vsprintf.c:160:2: error: (near initialization for 'decpair[0]')
      lib/vsprintf.c:160:2: error: initializer element is not constant
      lib/vsprintf.c:160:2: error: (near initialization for 'decpair[1]')
      ...
    
    I'm not entirely sure what those errors mean, but I don't see them on
    gcc 4.8.  So let's consider gcc 4.8 to be the official starting point
    for __builtin_bswap16().
    
    Arnd Bergmann adds:
     "I found the commit in gcc-4.8 that replaced the powerpc-specific
      implementation of __builtin_bswap16 with an architecture-independent
      one.  Apparently the powerpc version (gcc-4.6 and 4.7) just mapped to
      the lhbrx/sthbrx instructions, so it ended up not being a constant,
      though the intent of the patch was mainly to add support for the
      builtin to x86:
    
        https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52624
    
      has the patch that went into gcc-4.8 and more information."

Yes, that sounds right. I don't know if sparse actually tracks the
value of the constant, or if it's good enough for sparse to know that
a constant input to __builtin_bswap results in a constant output.
If that is the case, we could just #define __builtin_bswap32(x) (x)
in the kernel headers when building with sparse, and have it work
for older sparse versions too.
