Oof, right.  Commit message should mention that this was an oversight
in 76200e5e.  I think we should back-patch this.

     if (context->base.flags & PGJIT_OPT3)
         passes = "default<O3>";
+    else if (context->base.flags & PGJIT_INLINE
+             && !(context->base.flags & PGJIT_OPT3))
+        /* if doing inlining, but no expensive optimization, add inline pass */
+        passes = "default<O0>,mem2reg,inline";
     else
         passes = "default<O0>,mem2reg";

That expression after && is redundant with the "else".

What about llvmjit_deform.c's use of l_callsite_alwaysinline()?
