Very nice. I'm actually surprised that the compiler doesn't figure this 
out automatically. When I once tested this (in userspace) it did so. 
Maybe the kernel is different?

For style reasons, I would have moved the static definition to the top 
of the function; before the variable declarations. In any case:

If I don't here from you, I'll merge the patch soonish.

Best regards
