The kernel size should still be the same overall, you are just moving
pointers from one section to another, right?

If not, what are the numbers, show them please.

But step back, are you SURE you can make these attribute group pointers
const?  They are modified by some subsystems by adding or removing items
from the lists, so why does the core need to change for that?
