It's unfortunately not. It doesn't inline a lot of simple asm() inlines
for example.
Reading Ingos posting with the actual numbers states the opposite.
Well, Andi's patch forcing inlining of the bitops chops quite a bit of
size off the kernel, so there is clearly room for improvement. From my
post yesterday:

110 KB of code size reduction by force-inlining the small bitops.
