I will imagine that we will see cleanup patches converting these back to inline/asm. How about doing this conversion as part of the headers_install.pl script so we know it is always correct? Then we can keep the familiar inline/asm in the kernel headers and always use the correct __asm__, __inline__ version for our exported headers.
