Chang, I do prefer the 'static inline' as a general rule. Think of this:
static inline void setup_keylocker(struct cpuinfo_x86 *c) {}
versus:
#define setup_keylocker(c) do { } while (0)
Imagine some dope does:
char c;
...
setup_keylocker(c);
With the macro, they'll get no type warning. The inline actually makes
it easier to find bugs because folks will get _some_ type checking no
matter how they compile the code.
