I'd strongly prefer "byteSwap". We already have shiftR, shiftL insted
of sh[a]r, shl; I see no reason to stick to assembly convention here.
Also "bSwap" still wouldn't make it clear that it's _byte_ swap rather
than _bit_ swap.

I would be strongly against naming it 'swap'. Lots of people in the community do not subscribe to the philosophy that all things should be imported qualified.
'byteSwap' or even 'byteswap' would be closer to the traditional 'bswap' name in spirit.
I thought about byteswap too, and i think it's a fine choice (although my preference still goes on bswap for now). If a majority prefer byteswap to bswap, i'm happy to change it.
