include/linux/ctype.h: make isdigit() table lookupless
Make isdigit into a simple range checking inline function: return '0' <= c && c <= '9'; This code is 1 branch, not 2 because any reasonable compiler can optimize this code into SUB+CMP, so the code while (isdigit((c = *s++))) ... remains 1 branch per iteration HOWEVER it suddenly doesn't do table lookup priming cacheline nobody cares about.
