    x86: Work around compiler code generation bug with -Os · caf5b04c

    Some versions of gcc generate incorrect code for the inet_check_attr()
    function, apparently due to a totally bogus index -> pointer comparison
    transformation.
    
    At least "gcc version 4.0.1 20050727 (Red Hat 4.0.1-5)" from FC4 is
    affected, possibly others too.
    
    This changes the function subtly so that the buggy gcc transformation
    doesn't trigger.
