Compilers are smart enough now a days and may not  perform !!
at all I believe.. And so this patch is more about code clarity ..

I tried comparing results for ARM and got this with/without
this patch ..

$ size ../bexynos/kernel/sched/idle.o
   text   data    bss    dec    hex filename
    690     30      0    720    2d0 ../bexynos/kernel/sched/idle.o

Don't know if some architectures are using somewhat dumb
compilers which might result in better code with this patch :)
