 Thanks, I'll have a look.  And now that you have this update, please run 
`size' on ALPHA_GENERIC `vmlinux', preferably monolithic, to see what the 
difference is between `read*_relaxed' handlers `static inline' and keyed 
with `*trivial_rw_*'.

The patch with static inline:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
124207762       75953010        5426432 205587204       c410304 vmlinux

The patch with extern inline:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
124184422       75953474        5426432 205564328       c40a9a8 vmlinux

 I'm not sure why data grew, but still the gain in size is maybe small, 
yet it is there.

(I've sent version 7 of the patch because I misnamed the "write_relaxed" 
function in version 6).

 I have reviewed v7 now, thanks for your effort!
