I know I shouldn't say this, but: How hard can it be? :P

In kern.pre.mk:

CFLAGS_PARAM_INLINE_UNIT_GROWTH?=100
CFLAGS_PARAM_LARGE_FUNCTION_GROWTH?=1000
CFLAGS_PARAM_MAX_INLINE_INSNS_SINGLE?=/* XXX what is default? */
CFLAGS+= --param inline-unit-growth=${CFLAGS_PARAM_INLINE_UNIT_GROWTH}
CFLAGS+= --param large-function-growth=${CFLAGS_PARAM_LARGE_FUNCTION_GROWTH}
CFLAGS+= --param max-inline-insns-single=${CFLAGS_PARAM_MAX_INLINE_INSNS_SINGLE}

And then in the Octeon config:

makeoptions CFLAGS_PARAM_INLINE_UNIT_GROWTH=10000
makeoptions CFLAGS_PARAM_LARGE_FUNCTION_GROWTH=100000
makeoptions CFLAGS_PARAM_MAX_INLINE_INSNS_SINGLE=10000

Right?

Come up with a better name scheme, win 1/20 of 1 US cent.  (Not
redeemable for cash.)

Most users will never see it; only Octeon needs such behaviour because
of how the Simple Executive is implemented.
