Not all the world is glibc.  BSD and mingw lack byteswap.h, and qemu
compiles on more than just Linux.  While I'm not sure if any non-Linux
hosts default to compiling the qemu driver at the current moment, that
does not mean that we should not be thinking about the portability
aspects.  Adding a one-liner inclusion of the byteswap module to
bootstrap.conf will avoid any questions of portability pitfalls.
