Why is all of this stuff static inline?

Let's face it, most people don't need an MMU in their VM.
inline stubs help make double sure we are not adding
overhead for the sake of this niche case.

It also makes for an overly complex pci.h with no obvious performance 
justification.

A stub in a header plus an offline empty function is even more useless
code. inline stubs is standard procedure.

Look at 8/13.  They don't stay stubs for long.

Let's not prematurely optimize here.

It's not just an optimization.  It is easier to see what's going on this
way.
