Yeah, I'll make req_ncomp_notif an inline in my tree as well, since
it's a data path method.
I think most of the non-data path functions should not be inline,
since they may need to do some reference counting and so on, and
smaller text size is probably better for performance than inlining the
function (especially since the jump to the core function is not
through a function pointer and can be predicted perfectly).
