Yes, it's better, will do it in v2.

Okay, i agree.

Good idea.

After applying patch 1 ~ 5:
no inline:
$ size arch/x86/kvm/kvm.ko
text data bss dec hex filename
366406 51535 473 418414 6626e arch/x86/kvm/kvm.ko
inline:
$ size arch/x86/kvm/kvm.ko
text data bss dec hex filename
366638 51535 473 418646 66356 arch/x86/kvm/kvm.ko
Since there are static functions i prefer allowing GCC automatically
optimizes the code to marking always-inline.
