I was just looking at this... does it make more sense to
make these types of routines inline instead of allocating
stack space on every call... 

With rpc.gssd, when running, is now involved every mount
(even sec=sys ones) so I'm wondering if inlining 4 new 
routines would buy us anything... 

One down fall with inline routines it makes more
difficult to debug from gdb breakpoint point of view.
