Well, this will change, since now people (have to) start adding
__always_inline annotations on all architectures, most likely until
all have about the same amount of annotations like x86. This will
reduce the benefit.

Not sure if it's really a win that we get the inline vs
__always_inline discussion now on all architectures.
