Assuming the maintainers are OK with the special-casing in the verifier,
this looks like a neat way to avoid the runtime overhead to me. The
macro hackery is not the prettiest; I wonder if the same effect could be
achieved by using inline functions? If not, at least a comment
explaining the reasoning (and that the verifier will substitute the
right function) might be nice? Mostly in relation to this bit:

Ah, if only we were writing the kernel in a language with proper macro
support... One can dream! :)

Aww, too bad ;)
Still, nice!
