But the compile fails with -O0.. we don't depend on optimizations to
avoid compiler errors. Besides, "static inline" is standard kernel
coding-style so I think we should stick to it.

I've attached a patch, feel free to pick it up. Otherwise, I will give
it some test-compiles once I get home and send it to dri-devel.

Thanks
