Cargo cult... really?

Well, I just did a quick test by comparing IO forwarding with testpmd
between main branch and with adding a patch that removes all the
inline/noinline in lib/vhost/virtio_net.c [0].

main branch: 14.63Mpps
main branch - inline/noinline: 10.24Mpps

Andrey, thanks for the patch, I'll have a look at it next week.

Maxime
