The versions with inline assembly are in fact slower on the machines I
tested them on (in userspace) (Athlon XP 2800+, p4-like Xeon 2.8GHz, AMD
Opteron 270). The i386-version needed a fix similar to 06024f21 to avoid
crashing the benchmark.
Benchmark using: gcc -fomit-frame-pointer -Os. For each bitmap size
1...512, for each possible bitmap with one bit set, for each possible
offset: find the position of the first bit starting at offset. If you
follow ;). Times include setup of the bitmap and checking of the
results.
If the bitmap size is not a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG, and no set
(cleared) bit is found, find_next_bit (find_next_zero_bit) returns a
value outside of the range [0, size]. The generic version always returns
exactly size. The generic version also uses unsigned long everywhere,
while the x86 versions use a mishmash of int, unsigned (int), long and
unsigned long.
Using the generic version does give a slightly bigger kernel, though.

x86: add optimized inlining
add CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING=y.
allow gcc to optimize the kernel image's size by uninlining
functions that have been marked 'inline'. Previously gcc was
forced by Linux to always-inline these functions via a gcc
attribute:
Especially when the user has already selected
CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y this can make a huge difference in
kernel image size (using a standard Fedora .config):
qd_select() checks itself whether timings should be reprogrammed so
remove superfluous qd_timing_ok() and always use ->selectproc method
(rename qd_select() to qd65xx_select() while at it).
All host drivers now either set hwif->mmio or reserve continuous
I/O resources so remove no longer needed hwif->straight8 flag
and never reached code for 'hwif->straight8 == 0' case.
