[PATCH 3/3] always_inline timespec_add_ns

From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge
Date: Wed May 14 2008 - 11:49:04 EST


timespec_add_ns is used from the x86-64 vdso, which cannot call out to
other kernel code. Make sure that timespec_add_ns is always inlined
(and only uses always_inlined functions) to make sure there are no
unexpected calls.
