Yes, I also prefer inline functions rather than macros here.
Right, Graf?

Oh, I suggested Graf to run checkpatch.pl to find some issues before I
sent out this patch.
Should this issues be catched by checkpatch.pl?

We can remove these 2 line spin_lock+spin_unlock and it also works.
But maybe we will add some operation between spin_lock and spin_unlock
here in the future,
we'd like to keep them.

P.S. also forward this patch to linux-arch

Thanks
