That may be true now, but I worry that rq_clock or its subroutines may gain
side effects in the future that prevent the compiler from removing it. However,
I could push rq_clock into the inline function:
static inline void rq_idle_stamp_set(rq) { rq->idle_stamp = rq_clock(rq); }
static inline void rq_idle_stamp_clear(rq) { rq->idle_stamp = 0; }
I like that better, do you?
