[PATCH] Fix compilation on gcc 3.4

[Andi Kleen]

The upcomming gcc 3.4 has a new inlining algorithm which sometimes
fails to inline some "dumb" inlines in the kernel. This sometimes leads
to undefined symbols while linking.

To make the kernel compile again this patch drops the always inline
for gcc 3.4.  The new algorithm should be good enough to do the right
thing on its own.
