This patch also makes GCC do worse code-gen on the fast path, so I'll
drop it.

For some obscure raisin it causes this:

ring_buffer_put:
    a950:       f0 ff 0f                lock decl (%rdi)
    a953:       7c 20                   jl     a975 <ring_buffer_put+0x25>
    a955:       74 01                   je     a958 <ring_buffer_put+0x8>
    a957:       c3                      ret


ring_buffer_put:
    a940:       53                      push   %rbx
    a941:       48 89 fb                mov    %rdi,%rbx
    a944:       f0 ff 0f                lock decl (%rdi)
    a947:       7c 04                   jl     a94d <ring_buffer_put+0xd>
    a949:       74 10                   je     a95b <ring_buffer_put+0x1b>
    a94b:       5b                      pop    %rbx
    a94c:       c3                      ret

Which is just unacceptible...
