Yes, having tracepoints inlined causes a lot of bloat. But I still did
get a 1799 bytes savings between moving the tracepoint out of line but
keeping the if, and totally moving the entire functions out of line. Not
sure what the discrepancy was there.

My last set of numbers came from the default 3.0.0 Debian config, which
probably adds more things that call these functions into the kernel
proper?

But anway, I think this bike shed is complete ;-)
