Yes. Sorry, but I had so many bad experiences with maintainers. They 
told me that using functions means hiding stuff, that I should bisect 
even when I was absolutely sure which patch was wrong (and everxyone 
could see it by just reading the source and by reading my comments, I've 
got blamed because I prefer a controlled BUG_ON() (which might even just 
kill the involved tasks, depending on config settings) instead of a 
desastrous memory corruption which (hard-) reseted the machine (and 
might have done even more bad things) and so on.
