I browsed through some of the functions that bloat-o-meter reported an
increase for. Some seemed reasonable as they used things like current
or AFFS_I() in arguments. Others seemed pretty mysterious as they
didn't have obvious pr_debug() calls.

$ uname -m ; gcc --version
x86_64
gcc (GCC) 4.1.1 20060525 (Red Hat 4.1.1-1)

I'm not sure how it got that way but I don't think anyone will object to
simplifying it. I'll spend those 5 minutes :).

Agreed, on both counts :).
