    kernel - Uninline crit_exit()
    
    * Have crit_exit() call an actual procedure instead of inlining it.
      This doesn't seem to effect performance any and it reduces the
      size of the kernel noticeably.
    
      Modern cpus heavily optimize call/return paths these days and there
      might even be advantages to the smaller code and branch-cache footprint.
      The conditionals inside crit_exit() are nearly perfectly predicted
      now that there is no differentiation between the N->(N-1) and 1->0 case.
