According to the documentation
(https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Function-Attributes.html) of gcc
attributes are placed in the declaration of a function (3rd paragraph):


"Function attributes are introduced by the __attribute__ keyword in the
declaration of a function, ..."

Is printk really cold though? It's used in the various print helpers,
even for info level print which might not be rare once the fs is
mounted? What's a possible negative effect of this size optimisation -
runtime cost?
