I don't think it's possible to inline a function from an external
translation unit without something like LTO.

If I move the implementation of native_save_fl() to a separate .c (with out
of line assembly) or .S, neither clang nor gcc will inline that assembly to
any call sites, whether the declaration of native_save_fl() looks like:

extern inline unsigned long native_save_fl(void);

or

__attribute__((always_inline))

extern inline unsigned long native_save_fl(void);

I think an external copy is the best approach for the paravirt code:
