 MK> This diff makes VGAGet_GC and VGAPut_GC inline functions...

This way every patch is self-contained (and easily reviewed), which is
Good Thing. I'd be puzzled if first patch would convert every macros
_except two_ to inline functions, justified only by the next patch which
removes those two macros.
