do_mount() uses a whopping 616 bytes of stack on x86_64 in
2.6.24-mm1, largely thanks to gcc inlining the various helper
functions.
noinlining these can slim it down a lot; on my box this patch
gets it down to 168, which is mostly the struct nameidata nd;
left on the stack.
These functions are called only as do_mount() helpers;
none of them should be in any path that would see a performance
benefit from inlining...
