I wouldn't worry about -O3. -O3 is just -O2 -finline-functions. And
-finline-functions is stupid to use with the Linux kernel because all
functions where inline makes sense are explicitely declared __inline__,
and for the others it is most likely a loss (increasing register
pressure on x86 and bloating the L1 cache footprint)
