An inline could still work
	static inline void __user *u64_to_user_ptr(u64 address)
	{
		return (void __user *)(uintptr_t)address;
	}
if the macro was
	#define u64_to_user_ptr(x)		\
	({					\
		typecheck(u64, x);		\
		(u64_to_user_ptr)(x);		\
	})

the parenthesis around the u64_to_user_ptr
in the macro should prevent expansion.
