No, I am aware of those. The problem is they aren't accessed as
function pointers. As such converting them to static inline functions
is easy. As I am sure you are aware an "inline" function doesn't
normally generate a function pointer.

Actually my original idea has been complicated further by the fact
that I realized my code is accessing functions that are static in the
iov.c file. I'll need to think about how to come up with a better
solution for this.
