Re: [PATCH net-next-2.6 v4] gro: __napi_gro_receive() optimizations

compare_ether_header() can have a special implementation on 64 bit
arches if CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS is defined.

__napi_gro_receive() and vlan_gro_common() can avoid a conditional
branch to perform device match.

On x86_64, __napi_gro_receive() has now 38 instructions instead of 53

As gcc-4.4.3 still choose to not inline it, add inline keyword to this
performance critical function.
