Sorry but that's just plain false. For example this patch:
x86: cpufeature: use macros instead of inline assembly
... adds an extra macro indirection layer called STATIC_CPU_HAS, just to
macrofy a single asm()
statement that was perfectly readable and on-topic already...
There are some other cases where macrofying is also a cleanup due to sharing
and naming a
common pattern of code, but this is by no means an absolute quality of this
approach.
Thanks,
