[PATCH] sb1000.c: stop inlining largish static functions

Hi Jeff,

Can you take this patch into your net driver fixes tree?

drivers/net/sb1000.c has lots of inlined static functions.

Mst of them are used at initialization, wait for some
hardware register to change (wait using yield, sleep etc),
or do slow port-based I/O. Inlining thse "for speed" makes no sense.

This patch removes "inline" from biggest static function
(regardless of number of callsites - gcc nowadays auto-inlines
statics with one callsite).

Size difference for 32bit x86:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   6299     129       0    6428    191c linux-2.6-ALLYES/drivers/net/sb1000.o
   5418     129       0    5547    15ab linux-2.6.inline-ALLYES/drivers/net/sb1000.o

(I also see some other optimization opportunities,
will test and send a patch separately).
