I haven't checked the actual flags they enable in a while, but I think I
prefer something in the middle.

Esp. -freorder-blocks and the various -falign flags are something you
really want with -Os.

OK, so do not remove the MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT check from
__schedule_timeout() and change the above to:

static __always_inline long schedule_timeout(long timeout)
{
	if (__builtin_constant_p(timeout) && timeout == MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT) {
		schedule();
		return timeout;
	}
	return __schedule_timeout(timeout);
}

That should avoid extra code generation for the runtime sites while
still allowing what we set out to do.
