Let's go this way.  Feel free to create a macro which indicates that a
function with a machine specific attribute can be inlined.

[ TARGET_CAN_INLINE_P is a marginal name, since what we're really checking
  is whether or not a target specific *attribute* should not inhibit inlining,
  not whether the target supports inlining. ]
