I've borrowed them from sys/sparc64/include/endian.h.
The type casts are necessary, otherwise you'll get
``warning: left shift count >= width of type'', and
it should be trivial to test with this program:

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/endian.h>

#include <stdio.h>

int
main(void)
{
        uint64_t i = 0xefcdab8967452301;

        printf("%jx\n", i);
        i = BSWAP64(i);
        printf("%jx\n", i);
        return (0);
}
