... you're complaining that we reduced the amount of reserved ram?
You know that 5.11.0 is more recent than 5.10.75, right?
Sort of :)
No kernel I have used earlier has reserved so much RAM in the past so I figure that
20 MB in 5.10 is a regression.

Reason for using 5.10 is that it is an LTS kernel that will be around for quite a while.
