Implement faster bitrev8x4() for arm, arm64 and mips, all the platforms
with CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_BITREVERSE.
ARM platforms just need a byteswap added to the existing __arch_bitrev32()
Amusingly, the mips implementation is exactly the opposite, requiring
removal of the byteswap from its __arch_bitrev32()

This is broken -- you're operating on 64-bit registers. I only noticed
because if you write:

  swab32(bitrev32(x))

then GCC generates:

  rbit	w0, w0
  rev	w0, w0

so perhaps we should just implement the asm-generic version like that
and not bother with the arch-specific stuff?
