I don't think I can do that easily. Inlining the top of the the
function that uses attcacheoff or gets NULL's is easy, but after that,
lots of loops and stuff, which are hard to inline because you really
can't define your own variables inside a macro that returns a value.
Let's see that profiling shows after my changes, and how many times
nocache_getattr(), the new name for the remaining part of the function,
actually has to be called.
Also, there is nocache_getiattr(), and get_sysattr() is gone. Just an
array lookup for the offset now.
