No idea - I don't know about x86 nuances and why they wanted:

#if defined(__i386__) && (defined(CONFIG_M386) || defined(CONFIG_M486))
#define _INLINE_ inline
#else
#define _INLINE_
#endif

Maybe someone in the x86 world needs to comment? Does the above even
mean that we'll ever inline anything marked _INLINE_ ?
