Hi Vincent,

Thanks for your patch!

With gcc 9.5.0-1ubuntu1~22.04, the figures are completely different
(i.e. a size increase):

allyesconfig:

      text       data        bss      total filename
  58878600   72415994    2283652  133578246 vmlinux.before
  58882250   72419706    2284004  133585960 vmlinux.after

atari_defconfig:

      text       data        bss      total filename
   4112060    1579862     151680    5843602 vmlinux-v6.7-rc8
   4117008    1579350     151680    5848038
vmlinux-v6.7-rc8-1-m68k-bitops-force-inlining

The next patch offsets that for allyesconfig, but not for atari_defconfig.
