Hi people,
this is an attempt to see whether gcc's inline asm heuristic when
estimating inline asm statements' cost for better inlining can be
improved.
AFAIU, the problematic arises when one ends up using a lot of inline
asm statements in the kernel but due to the inline asm cost estimation

I didn't say it didn't - but the heuristic could use improving.

Yap, considering how elegant the compiler solution is and how much
