When you brought up the problem you seemed absolutely convinced
that nothing except your solution was going to be acceptable.

That's not true. What's true is that you didn't seem to _understand_
my solution, so I tried to push the understanding of it.

There are always other solutions. I seriously doubt that Uwe's is a
maintainable one. That said, even a one-time "reduce the size of that
stinking pile of sh*t" is probably better than nothing.

I hope you at least do agree that the current situation is a steaming
pile of sh*t. And yes, I _will_ remove the crap, both from POWER and
ARM, unless I see some serious tries at fixing it.

I'm willing to try my solution, some others on the linux-arm-kernel
lists considered it worth trying, too.  Feel free to pull my tree[1].
Russell refused to take defconfig changes for a while now, so I don't
expect merge problems if you do.

If it helps the powerpc people I can reduce their defconfigs, too.

Best regards
Uwe
