Fix compilation of drivers with -O0

It is sometimes useful to compile individual drivers with optimization
disabled for easier debugging.  Currently drivers which use htonl() and
similar functions don't compile with -O0.  This patch fixes it.  It also
removes obsolete and misleading comments.  This header is not for
userspace, so we don't have to care about strange programs these comments
mention.

(akpm: -O0 probably isn't a good idea, but this code looks pretty crufty and
unuseful)
