Because the earlier review suggested to do "weak definition" and I took
it literally :) I'll make it inline.

This is not a new thing - gcc produces less assembly for ppc64 if long
is used and this is why I stick to longs. So I have 2 options here:
change all mm_iommu_xxxx to return int (I'd rather not) or change the
@ret type here from long to int, will the latter be ok?
