yes - and they are - that was my mistake I grabed the
wrong asm snippet - here is the complete test case 
also made a mess of the code while trimming down
the mail - so here is the single test case showing,
I think, that inline works as well and as expected.

testi.h:

#define HZ 100
#define MSECS_PER_SEC 1000
#define TIMEOUT 100

extern inline unsigned long __msecs_to_jiffies(int m);
unsigned long msecs_to_jiffies(int m)
{
        return __builtin_constant_p(m) ? ((m) * HZ / MSECS_PER_SEC ) : 
__msecs_to_jiffies(m);
}


test.c:

#include <stdio.h>
#include "testi.h"

unsigned long __msecs_to_jiffies(int m)
{
        return (m * HZ / MSECS_PER_SEC);
}

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
        //int m = atoi(argv[1]);
        int m = TIMEOUT;
        printf("%lu\n",msecs_to_jiffies(m));
        return 0;
}


compiled with:
gcc -O2 -S --verbose-asm test.c
<snip>
main:
.LFB13:
        .cfi_startproc
        subq    $8, %rsp        #,
        .cfi_def_cfa_offset 16
        movl    $10, %esi       #,
        movl    $.LC0, %edi     #,
        xorl    %eax, %eax      #
        call    printf  #
<snip>


need to cleanup here :)

thx!
