I'm not sure these are improvements....

I thought that netdev (in particular) preferred static inline functions
to #defines - and especially #defines that expand their argument(s)
more than once.

IMHO Simple access functions are just a PITA when reading code since
they cause the reader to go off somewhere and look up the definition.
