That's clearly not true of all compilers. All gcc versions
before 4.0 need serious help to inline functions used only once. Our
current minimal requirement for the kernel is gcc 3.2, therefore this
code is still useful.
Note that this is a legitimate use of inline (tell the
compiler to inline the function), not an abuse.
