Problem with kernel was that it relied on quite complicated indirect inliing of always inlined and did not work without it. At beggining I think we should have introduced two attributes - always_inline and disregard_inline_limits just like we have internally. Always_inline should have never allowed public linkage or taking its address, but it is probbly late to fix that :( Honza
