According to most of the coding standards I've read, readability (and hence maintainability) come before efficiency. That said, I agree that efficiency _is_ an issue within the kernel's critical paths (the TCP/IP code being one). Judicious use of inline functions (and macros) should help move code to the left - and may even make it more understandable.
