Here's an argument for inclusion:

defconfig without patches:

$ size vmlinux
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
4738370  518986  622592 5879948  59b88c vmlinux

defconfig with patches:

$ size vmlinux
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
4735238  518986  622592 5876816  59ac50 vmlinux

cheers, Joe
