Subject: Help text for config OPTIMIZE_INLINING

The main help text for the OPTIMIZE_INLINING kconfig option says:
"The gcc 4.x series have a rewritten inlining algorithm and disabling this option will generate a smaller kernel there."

That suggests that to generate a smaller kernel one should set the option to n. However the short text says:
"Allow gcc to uninline functions marked 'inline'"

While suggests that one should set it to y to generate smaller kernels. My own experience says that setting it to y DOES generate a smaller kernel so perhaps the main text should be changed to reflect this?
