hrmpf. David, i can only repeat that what you say is plain out false. 
The CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING patch was posted to lkml originally, about 
two months ago:

  http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/3/122
 
then it was re-posted at the time of the pull request as well:

  http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/911104?page=last

and i just posted a (trivial) RFC patch to lkml today that would turn it 
into a generic feature:

  http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/27/47

so i'm not sure what this big fuss is about ...

Moving this (now apparently hotly desired!) feature from 
arch/x86/Kconfig to init/Kconfig is no big deal and lets continue with 
more important issues. No puppies got hurt, really :)

You can use the patch i posted or you've got my conceptual Acked-by for 
touching arch/x86/Kconfig or can do it without asking - i dont mind -, 
it's an obviously correct change that i not only wanted all along but 
also implemented that way originally (twice!), until stupid lkml 
objections forced it into arch/x86 as i went the path of least 
resistance.

Yes, in hindsight, i should have stood up for that change and should 
have made a stink about it on linux-arch but there's just so many 
flamewars that fit into a day ;-)
