This patch removes inlines except those which are used
by packet matching code and thus are performance-critical.

Some people also consider the ruleset replacement path performance
critical, but overall I agree with your patch. I'm travelling currently
though so it will take a few days until I'll apply it.

Do you have some numbers that show the actual difference these
changes make?
