Indeed, gcc does a fairly good job there. The .text section doesn't
grow. Interestingly, there's an increase in size in the .data and
.rodata sections in the xilinx-dpdma module:

-  8 .rodata.str1.8 0000029f  0000000000000000  0000000000000000  00003660  2**3
+  8 .rodata.str1.8 000002a7  0000000000000000  0000000000000000  00003660  2**3

- 10 .rodata       00001080  0000000000000000  0000000000000000  00003960  2**5
+ 10 .rodata       000010e0  0000000000000000  0000000000000000  00003960  2**5

- 15 .data         00001050  0000000000000000  0000000000000000  00004e40  2**5
+ 15 .data         00001090  0000000000000000  0000000000000000  00004ea0  2**5

I'm not entirely sure where it comes from, it may be related to
instrumentation caused by debugging options.

For your patch,
