Subject: [PATCH] drivers/char/specialix.c: stop inlining largish static functions

Hi Alan,

drivers/char/specialix.c has unusually large number
of static inline functions - 22.

I looked through them. The file is positively inline-happy.
Inlines with udelay() calls. Inlines with complex loops.
Nested inlines. Rarely called inlines (e.g. with request_region
inside).

This patch removes "inline" from 15 static functions
(regardless of number of callsites - gcc nowadays auto-inlines
statics with one callsite).

Size difference for 32bit x86:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  21669     204    8780   30653    77bd linux-2.6-ALLYES/drivers/char/specialix.o
  18470     204    8780   27454    6b3e linux-2.6.inline-ALLYES/drivers/char/specialix.o
