Help text

This option determines if the kernel forces gcc to inline the functions developers have marked 'inline'. Doing so takes away freedom from gcc to do what it thinks is best, which is desirable for the gcc 3.x series of compilers. The gcc 4.x series have a rewritten inlining algorithm and disabling this option will generate a smaller kernel there. Hopefully this algorithm is so good that allowing gcc4 to make the decision can become the default in the future, until then this option is there to test gcc for this.
