It saves an astonishing two bytes here, with gcc-3.2.1

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   1302     388      10    1700     6a4 arch/i386/kernel/i8259.o

   1300     388      10    1698     6a2 arch/i386/kernel/i8259.o

;)



And with gcc-4.2.0:

bix:/usr/src/25> size arch/i386/kernel/i8259.o
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   1340     356      12    1708     6ac arch/i386/kernel/i8259.o

   1335     356      12    1703     6a7 arch/i386/kernel/i8259.o
