[PATCH 1/2] Make OPTIMIZE_INLINING a generic option

[Stephen Boyd]

This option is useful on more architectures than just x86. When
this option was introduced Ingo deliberately made it x86
specific since he was uncertain of the amount of testing other
architectures had (see http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/4/285).

This option has been tested on ARM v7 with no ill effects observed.
Therefore make it generic so ARM can choose it in the next patch.
