Hmm

gcc version 4.5.1

count : 5 instructions to call function

c10cfbb5:	a1 00 8f 53 c1       	mov    0xc1538f00,%eax
c10cfbba:	31 c9                	xor    %ecx,%ecx
c10cfbbc:	89 04 24             	mov    %eax,(%esp)
c10cfbbf:	ba 01 00 00 00       	mov    $0x1,%edx
c10cfbc4:	b8 c0 5b 50 c1       	mov    $0xc1505bc0,%eax
c10cfbc9:	e8 a2 64 0b 00       	call   c1186070 <__percpu_counter_add>

Then 39 instructions in hot path (no lock taken)

So its more than 40 as I stated
