   Inline functions are often not as efficient as macros, so this may
   not be all that good an idea.

Yes, this is very true.  Gcc's register allocator can act
inefficiently if you use too many inline functions, I've changes some
inlines to macros in the UltraSparc pgtable.h mm interfaces
specifically for this reason.
