Gcc 7 must be much more aggressive about inlining than gcc 4.  Here is the
change that I got on this file:

     text          data     bss     dec     hex filename
-   76346          1494     152   77992   130a8 drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlegacy/4965-mac.o
+   76298          1494     152   77944   13078 drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlegacy/4965-mac.o
decrease of 48
