I'm not sure why they imposed these limitations for inlineable
functions.  It seems that unless there is an ambiguity (you need a
__host__ and a __device__ function), and the function is inlineable,
nvcc should easily be able to consume these functions.  In fact, in
early editions, this often worked (though perhaps was a bug).
