[PATCH 1/2] Fix misleading comment in bio.h

[PATCH 1/2] Fix misleading comment in bio.h

[Alberto Bertogli]

The comment says "remember to add offset!", but the function already adds
it.

[PATCH 2/2] bio.h: If they MUST be inlined, then use __always_inline

[Alberto Bertogli]

bvec_kmap_irq() and bvec_kunmap_irq() comments say they MUST be inlined,
so mark them as __always_inline.

The comment is wrong - this was a sparc requirement, long since removed.

The comment probably dates back to around 2001 or so, I wasn't aware
that the non-local irq flags requirement had since been voided on sparc.

[PATCH] Do not __always_inline bvec_kmap_irq() and bvec_kunmap_irq()

So remove both the comment and the inline requirement, going back to the
inline hint.

So I came up with this, but I'm not sure if it's better than just avoid the
inline and placing them somewhere else. If you want me to write a different
patch, let me know.

Thanks a lot,

This is the same patch as before, except it's properly indented because
everything fits < 80 columns or so.
