Description
Integer.reverseBytes() implements endianness conversion as:

    public static int reverseBytes(int i) {
        return ((i >>> 24)           ) |
               ((i >>   8) &   0xFF00) |
               ((i <<   8) & 0xFF0000) |
               ((i << 24));
    }

Some architectures include instructions that do just that: BSWAP on x86 and LDUWA on SPARC, but HotSpot currently does not take advantage of them.

Similarly for Long.reverseBytes().

Evaluation
This is a candidate for intrinsification.
