x86: Mark OPTIMIZE_INLINING broken
So Ingo finally did figure out why UML broke with this option: UML
passes gcc the -fno-unit-at-a-time flag, and apparently that wreaks
havoc with gcc's inlining.
We could turn off -fno-unit-at-a-time for UML for gcc4+ (which is what
x86 does), but there's bad blood about this whole option, and it does
show that the thing is just fragile as heck.
So let tempers cool, and disable the thing, and we can revisit the
decision later.
