The kernel should just use __always_inline if that is what it *wants*;
that is true here most likely.  GCC could perhaps improve its heuristics
so that it no longer thinks these functions are often too big for
inlining (they *are* pretty big, but not after basic optimisations with
constant integer arguments).
