Tuning kernel sources based on allyesconfig build _size_ only is
terrible. We could build an interpreter based kernel and maybe reduce
its size by 50% who knows...

You are saying that all inline should be removed, since it is obvious
kernel size _will_ be smaller.

That is an ... interesting idea, but hardly related to net_generic().
