Compile warnings due to missing __inline__ in fs/xfs/xfs_log.h

As the __inline__ directive in front of the _lsn_cmp function is not used with
the gcc version 2.95.x, compile-warnings result from many files including this
header-file.

Is there any reason why this function is not inlined with these compiler
versions? As I used following patch and compiled the kernel with my
gcc2.95.3(SuSE) and an other gcc2.95.4(Debian) these compiler warnings
disappeared and no additional warning or error occured...

Is there an difference between '__inline__' and 'inline'?
Is 'inline' not part of the ANSI-C standard and so should be preferred?

Thanks
