Yes, we need to get this down again.  What compiler and compiler
flags are you using?  Could you retry with the following ripped
from include/linux/compiler.h:

#if (__GNUC__ > 3) || (__GNUC__ == 3 && __GNUC_MINOR__ >= 1)
#define inline          __inline__ __attribute__((always_inline))
#define __inline__      __inline__ __attribute__((always_inline))
#define __inline        __inline__ __attribute__((always_inline))
#endif

I'd especially be interested in the fs/ numbers after this.

Also -Os on both would be quite cool.
