To be clear, it was not at all intended to be an optimization, nothing
of the sort. The intention was to make it easier and less error prone to
add more parameters to said macros. The text size shring was just a
bonus.

In his review of the original change, Chris provided this comparison
https://godbolt.org/g/YCK1od

How does CONFIG_KASAN change this? Would be nice to see how the
generated code blows up.
