It's more complex, but one would still get compiler type checking of the
arguments if one did:

static inline void _slis(spinlock_t *lock, unsigned long flags) {}
static inline void _slir(spinlock_t *lock, unsigned long flags) {}
#define spin_lock_irqsave(lock, flags) _slis(lock, flags = 0)
#define spin_lock_irqrestore(lock, flags) _slir(lock, flags = flags)

It think that would make gcc happy too?
