Is there a system that needs this change?  If so, the commit log
should mention it.

It's definitely nice to remove #ifdefs, but it's better if we have an
actual reason and some testing of another arch that makes use of this.

Also, take a look at the git history and match the subject line and
commit log style (prefix, capitalization, imperative voice).

I don't mind removing the "inline" here, but it shouldn't be combined
with the rest of the patch.  When it's combined, I can't tell whether
there's a reason we need this change or if it's just a cleanup.
