Currently, we CALL clear_page() which then JMPs to the proper function
chosen by the alternatives.
What we should do instead is CALL the proper function directly. (This

Measuring our favourite kernel build workload shows that there are no
significant changes in performance.

allmodconfig vmlinux size grows by a ~1Kb but that's fine - we optimize
our calling of the clear_page variants.
