Sure, I'm not worried about the boot regression any more, as that is definitely
explained by the size growth. The only question is whether the patches make
the kernel grow more than it should. The 40+250KB I measured seem
within my expectations, so unless you have specific data showing much
more, I think we're good.

Thanks for all the help!
