This patch removes inlines except those which are used
by packet matching code and thus are performance-critical.
Some people also consider the ruleset replacement path performance
critical, but overall I agree with your patch. I'm travelling currently
though so it will take a few days until I'll apply it.

Do you have some numbers that show the actual difference these
changes make?

Before:

$ size */*/*/ip*tables*.o
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   6402     500      16    6918    1b06 net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o
   7130     500      16    7646    1dde net/ipv6/netfilter/ip6_tables.o

After:

$ size */*/*/ip*tables*.o
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   6307     500      16    6823    1aa7 net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o
   7010     500      16    7526    1d66 net/ipv6/netfilter/ip6_tables.o


Applied, thanks.
