Subject: [RFC] ACPICA: save a function call 
Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2015 22:07:43 +0800
Message-Id: <1439906863-5681-1-git-send-email-yizhouzhou@ict.ac.cn>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Content-Length: 1458
Lines: 45

In function acpi_ps_build_named_op, the if statement
in line 221 ensure the argument status to function call
acpi_ps_next_parse_state has the value 0, while 
acpi_ps_next_parse_state do not change any global state
when called with callback_status==0.

I think following lines should be removed to save some CPU 
cycles because the compilers won't do it (the callee
is defined in another compiling unit, so it can't be inlined).
