    Can we not use a b&w bitmap and twiddle the font when the kernel inits? That
    way, it call all be marked __initdata and not be considered unnecessary
    bloat.

    Restoring the font when init execs of course, by which time, the logo will
    probably have scrolled off. (Well, my fairly minimalist kernel blots out 90
    or so lines).
