He should also remove these, which involve just syntactic casting to 
please the compiler:

        struct tcp_sock *tp = tcp_sk(sk);
        struct inet_connection_sock *icsk = inet_csk(sk);

...and maybe some other similar ones. I'm sure that's going to make his 
statistics even more questionable as is because we need tp all around.

But about his concerns, I spend couple of minutes in looking to it by 
hand. These are likely to be a win:
        tcp_set_state
        tcp_prequeue 
        tcp_prequeue_init
        tcp_openreq_init

...about rest I'm very unsure but there are some that probably are a 
minor win as well.

tcp_dec_quickack_mode has only a single caller anyway so I'd doubt that 
it's going to be significant, I thought moving it to .c earlier but 
haven't just done that yet :-).
