I would guess at
static inline __attribute__((always_inline)) void device_rate_entry(..)
because while that function *looks* really simple ("Hey, it's just ten
lines"), those lines expand to some nested compile-time constant macros
from hell, and the end result is hundreds and hundreds of lines of really
dense code because the macros are set up to be able to handle constant
arguments asa constant.
That thing is a thing from hell.
