A bit odd..

Here is the result on my x86_32:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  14118    1804    4960   20882    5192 kernel/cgroup.o.orig
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  14114    1804    4960   20878    518e kernel/cgroup.o

And on IA64:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  42399    2712    5616   50727    c627 kernel/cgroup.o.orig
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  42367    2712    5616   50695    c607 kernel/cgroup.o

No change in data segment.
