Great find! Sadly shows how little people actually use JIT.

I didn't add the always-inline pass as I don't think this can have any effect. From what I understand, the functions need to be imported through llvm_inline for LLVM to be able to inline them. I've tested by tagging int4mod as always inline, and the generated bc was still calling the function despite the always-inline pass.
If inline-always does not do anything it should be removed on older LLVM versions too. I do not think we should be having pre- and post-LLVM 17 run different passes. But as Thomas pointed out inline-always is likely used for tuple deforming.
