I vote for smaller text size if possible. I doubt kfifo is used in any 
circumstances where a function call or two is a big problem. But of course
some inlines might be smaller than calls.

But then this code has been pending for a long time and I
have some potential users. It would be good to merge ASAP and do such tweaks 
later in tree.
