Maybe remove "-Os" on a global basis is not wanted nor required. Maybe a per
directory, per file or per function basis may superior!

make DISABLE_OPTIMIZATION=net/sched/sch_api.c

But still all core constructs defined in top level header files must be
compatible for directory/file basis to be build with no optimization at all.

One way to un-optmize fine-granular is GCC's optmize pragma [1].

Hagen

PS: such a functionality may be convenient for perf probe too! (to hook into
probepoints which are currently optimized out)
