What do you think?

add inline functions which add native byte order variable to
little/big endian variable to core header and as an example
convert ext3 to use them

Various places already have this as be*_add / le*_add, so it might be
more useful to keep those names already in use.

I found it in XFS only. Did I miss something?
be32_add is shorter than be32_add_cpu but I think it's not clear
whether second parameter is in native byte order or not.
