Thanks for the explanation about inlining. Now I understand that it's 
even more complicated than I thought. Anyway I think that it's better to 
let the JIT decide whether to inline managed-to-managed wrappers instead 
of forcing to inline them always.

I succeeded with the new IR. The old IR has more checks so it's not 
worth to patch it.

I have attached the new patch and a new test for OffsetToStringData.

I got results around 59900 with and without the patch as well.

Note that inlining constructors is not covered by the patch but string 
.ctors would not be inlined because they call CreateString methods.

UnsafeAddrOfPinnedArrayElement will not be inlined either because 
[SuppressUnmanagedCodeSecurity ()].

OffsetToStringData is inlined for sure because without inlining I got 
results around 201100.
