alpha: fix compile failures with gcc-4.3 (bug #10438)



Vast majority of these build failures are gcc-4.3 warnings
about static functions and objects being referenced from
non-static (read: "extern inline") functions, in conjunction
with our -Werror.

We cannot just convert "extern inline" to "static inline",
as people keep suggesting all the time, because "extern inline"
logic is crucial for generic kernel build.
So
- just make sure that all callees of critical "extern inline"
  functions are also "extern inline";
- use "static inline", wherever it's possible.

traps.c: work around gcc-4.3 being too smart about array
bounds-checking.

TODO: add "gnu_inline" attribute to all our "extern inline"
functions to ensure desired behaviour with future compilers.
