If you add "__always_inline" then it will include "notrace" as inlined
functions are not traced. But we have removed "notrace" from the generic
"inline" a while ago. If the compiler decides to ignore an "inline" it
*will* be traced.

We probably should fix any "_notrace" functions that are not
"__always_inline" and do not have "notrace".
