[git pull] x86, generic: optimized inlining

[Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>]

Linus, please pull the "optimized inlining" feature from:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/x86/linux-2.6-x86-optimized-inlining.git for-linus

this is from x86.git but touches include/linux/compiler-gcc.h and can be 
enabled by other architectures as well. The motivation of this feature 
is a 2.3% kernel text size reduction on generic x86 distro kernel 
configs. (Perhaps gcc will also get smarter about inlining decisions if 
the kernel gives it leeway about it.)

This change makes __always_inline more meaningful (and more critical). 
Testing so far showed no ill effects.

Thanks,

	Ingo

+	  This option determines if the kernel forces gcc to inline the functions
+	  developers have marked 'inline'. Doing so takes away freedom from gcc to
+	  do what it thinks is best, which is desirable for the gcc 3.x series of
+	  compilers. The gcc 4.x series have a rewritten inlining algorithm and
+	  disabling this option will generate a smaller kernel there. Hopefully
+	  this algorithm is so good that allowing gcc4 to make the decision can
+	  become the default in the future, until then this option is there to
+	  test gcc for this.
