I have removed both "inline" and "noinline" in v2, leaving it at the
discretion of the compiler. If you believe it deserves a "noinline",
feel free to add it. FWIW on x86-64, I didn't observe any measurable
diference either in latency or instruction cache footprint.  

Please add the noinline. I went through and added strategic "noinline" and
"__always_inline", as well as placing "likely()" and "unlikely()" and
dropped the cost of adding an event from just under 300ns down to less than
150ns.

This code is called during function tracing (hit at every function call),
and yes, every little bit helps!

I'm going to wait a few days for further comments, then add it in v3.

Thanks for your time!
