I have verified the new configuration with GCC. CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING is a
whole different thing and I dont think it is so aggressive. Because many of
kernel functions marked as 'inline' must be inlined. Otherwise the kernel cannot
be compiled at all with CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING=y. If you wanna to try, just
remove the 'inline' keyword from some kernel functions to see what happens.
