In our earlier work on the PPU profiling patch, Benjamin Herrenschmidt
said that we should remove macros that are only used once and just put
the actual code in.  That is why the macros were removed. 

Heh... there is a balance to be found... In some cases, inline functions
might be better too.

Well, unless there's a very good reasons against it (token pasting,
header pollution) inlines are always preferable over macros, but I
didn't want to bring that issue up aswell..
