They probably could be.  However there is precedence for the static 
inline form:

$ git grep pte_protnone | grep '\.h' | grep -v return
arch/arm64/include/asm/pgtable.h:static inline int pte_protnone(pte_t pte)
arch/powerpc/include/asm/book3s/64/hash.h:static inline int 
pte_protnone(pte_t pte)
arch/powerpc/include/asm/nohash/pgtable.h:static inline int 
pte_protnone(pte_t pte)
arch/s390/include/asm/pgtable.h:static inline int pte_protnone(pte_t pte)
arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable.h:static inline int pte_protnone(pte_t pte)
include/asm-generic/pgtable.h:static inline int pte_protnone(pte_t pte)


Actually I am a little surprised that all the arm64 pte_* and pmd_* 
things are not written as static inline to achieve added type safety. 
The generated code should be identical.
