Well I'm keen; I haven't succeeded in getting -ffunction-sections working yet
to do it automagically. Some of the /proc support functions are `static' and
need the #ifdef anyway just to stop gcc warning about them, so I doubt we will
nuke all the #ifdef CONFIG_PROC_FS's altogether.

I'm also looking at nuking all the kernel message stuff to save even more
space on deeply embedded systems. Get rid of all those human-readable strings
and syslog functions to save another 100k or so. I almost managed to exclude
sprintf, but it's used pretty heavily by the networking stuff for other
reasons.

Regards,
Graham
