Hi Serge.

Just some trivial style notes.

Perhaps inline is better than __inline__ and do these
functions really need to be marked inline at all?

Perhaps this is less prone to typo errors and are a bit
more readable as:

	if (tgt->uid == src->uid ||
	    tgt->uid == src->euid ||
	    tgt->uid == src->suid)
