So yes, I object strongly object if I don't have a way

bloated compared with the 2.2 we started with, which was 
well below 1MB with the minimal setup: serial console, root 
on NFS, no swap, some locally modules to control the PCI<->VME 
bridge and what is behind on the VME bus. 

I assume you compile custom kernels for these machines, so you're
happy with using config options to remove the code you don't want?
Having the .pmac.text, .prep.text etc. sections lets us remove
unneeded code at runtime, but it sounds like that isn't actually the
issue for you (i.e. you don't have a need to run the same kernel on
both a pmac and a prep).
