Now? We discuss this a month back or so? :-)

Anyway, if so I prefer to group the patchset in at least two patches to
simplify review:

- performance criticial group
- inline assembler group

The former group contains all inline critical functions and the later to
identify functions where gcc has problems because their inline heuristic
for asm code is a toy.
