This patch removes inlines except those which are used
by packet matching code and thus are performance-critical.
Some people also consider the ruleset replacement path performance
critical, but overall I agree with your patch. I'm travelling currently
though so it will take a few days until I'll apply it.

Do you have some numbers that show the actual difference these
changes make?

Before:

$ size */*/*/ip*tables*.o
text data bss dec hex filename
6402 500 16 6918 1b06 net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o
7130 500 16 7646 1dde net/ipv6/netfilter/ip6_tables.o

After:

$ size */*/*/ip*tables*.o
text data bss dec hex filename
6307 500 16 6823 1aa7 net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o
7010 500 16 7526 1d66 net/ipv6/netfilter/ip6_tables.o


Applied, thanks.
