How about something simple like:

if (SMALL_REGISTER_SET)
never_inline_functions_unless_the_user_asked_for_it();

which means that even with -O6 you would not inline functions
unless they were marked inline.

I think I'd rather tell people "don't compile the kernel with -O6"
than turn off -finline-functions for -O6 by default on any machine.
