Hmm. Does it help to mark __set_fixmap_offset() as "__always_inline"
rather than just "inline"?

Every single "fix_to_virt()" user _should_ use a constant index and
that thing should be inlined and the __this_fixmap_does_not_exist case
should be trivially optimized away.

But if __set_fixmap_offset() doesn't get inlined...
