Actually it won't work, since results of inline-analysis are used by most of other
IPA passes (i.e. ipa-cp and ipa-sra for cloning decisions, etc.).
As we chatted about shortly on the summit, perhaps it would make sense to declare
the jump-functions and ipa-inline analysis to be independent analysis passes (aka ipa-pta).
One computing jump functions and other deciding on size/time estimates.
But definitely incrementally.
