Interesting. For the other ones, including asm/compiler.h from linux/compiler.h
seems appropriate though, so the question would be what to do with the
alpha case. I think we can simply remove that header file and replace
it with this patch:

diff --git a/arch/alpha/Kconfig b/arch/alpha/Kconfig
index b2022885ced8..5502404f54cd 100644
--- a/arch/alpha/Kconfig
+++ b/arch/alpha/Kconfig
@@ -81,6 +81,9 @@ config PGTABLE_LEVELS
        int
        default 3

+config OPTIMIZE_INLINING
+       def_bool y
+
 source "init/Kconfig"
 source "kernel/Kconfig.freezer"

which should have the same effect.
