Yes, I did look at the disassembly and bloat-o-meter results. Inlining
these functions means that the fastpath sits entirely within a 64-byte
cacheline and bloat-o-meter shows a relatively small increase in vmlinux
size for a defconfig build with CONFIG_PREEMPT disabled:

Total: Before=13800924, After=13812904, chg +0.09%

(I also just noticed my typos in ARCH_INLINE_{READ.WRITE}_UNLOCK_IRQSAVE
so I regenerated the numbers!)
