Hmm, I was wondering if we should rather have a large ifdef block of
all these functions stubbed to WARN_ONCE rather than in each function.
As I understand it this would be necessary if we want the inline gone.
They would still be static though so we still get a copy per
compilation unit that uses it or am I misunderstanding?
