I don't think I said that with respect to this code. I think I said
it w.r.t. a define or a small wrapper that decides to call
hot_update_freqs().  A static inline fucntion should only be a
couple of lines of code at most.

A static function, OTOH, can be inlined by the compiler if the
compiler thinks that is a win. But....

... it's an exported function, so it can't be inline or static, so
using "inline" is wrong whatever way you look at it. ;)

Cheers,

Dave.
