Good catch on the inlining. I had meant to do that and missed it. The point
about the naming of the flag is a good one too. How about this patch? I've
tested it to see that it builds, but don't have good place to test this one
to see that it works. A similar patch did work on a 2.6.18 derivative kernel.
