This change is meant to just clean-up a number of function calls that were
made at the end of the Rx clean-up path by combining them into a single
function call.

Since the functions are static and only called once they
are prime candidates for inlining.
This might happen anyway (depending on the gcc version
and the direction the wind is blowing in).

Marking them with __attribute__((always_inline)) might
be needed to get them actually inlined.

That would maintain the logical separation.
