    I quite agree. I'm all for better compilation. However, usual practice
    in the kernel has been to complain about introducing C code sequences
    that add a few instructions when compiled by compilers over 5 years old,
    let alone the very latest one. I think it was the expectation of that
    sort of sensitive reaction to the hot-path impact of unused tracepoints
    that motivated Jason's attempt at microoptimization.


    Thanks,
    Roland
