I found this while I was at iXsystems, trying to port Richard Elling's
arc statistics utility to FreeBSD.
I do not disagree with the change in theory, but I never committed
this because I was worried of performance penalty.
Last time I checked Solaris/Illumos actually do not inline this
function without any particular directive (I guess this is mostly due
to difference in toolchain, in particular in the compiler), so it
shouldn't be a big deal, but if you have time, do you mind to check
the penalty introduced, if any, is negligible?

Thanks,
