>Description:

The following include cycle exists:

sys/types.h -> machine/endian.h -> sys/endian.h -> 
   machine/bswap.h -> sys/bswap.h -> sys/types.h

(as well as a shorter one that doesn't involve bswap.h)

It all works, at the moment, but it's ugly and fragile.

>How-To-Repeat:

grep

>Fix:
torches and pitchforks
