I finally got the function definition. The problem was that I was compiling
my modules with just a gcc -c modname.c. Since the inlined functions in
asm/io.h are extern the compiler kept expecting a definition for __inw and
__inwc. This leads to another question, why in the world are the INLINED
functions in asm-i386/io.h declared as extern?

BTW, thanks to all those who helped.
