It's actually fairly common as a portability thing from
back when you might have to deal with compilers that
didn't support 'inline' or which had differing ideas
about how inline functions should be marked, when it
wasn't yet part of the C standard. INLINE was the macro
name used a lot for this.
However since QEMU has no intention of trying to deal
with ancient compilers which don't know about inline,
we gain nothing from the macro, so expanding it away
is the right thing.
