Why do you need to always inline here?
After investigating lots of performance cases, my conclusion has been that
no new code should use always_inline unless it has special __rte_constant()
optimizations and/or can show significant benefit on a benchmark.

Just inline should do fine, the compiler cost optimizer will figure
out if inline makes sense.
