[Click] CLICK_BYTE_ORDER

Hi Koen

And atomic? When do you have 'synchronization'? e.g. in

_offset gets set once during startup and never changes. _drops are mutable
and during SMP Click operations you require synchronization.

In short, if you are using standard Click then you never need worry about
atomic ints, ONLY when you pln to use SMP Click.
