apply patches. Run this. Rinse. Repeat. :-)

(This is a TAB and a space in the square brackets above. Don't use \s. Trust me.)
linux-2.2.20.tar.bz2: 15,751,285 bytes linux-2.2.20-nbl.tar.bz2: 15,608,085 bytes
Patch Size (uncompressed): 17,815,166 bytes (yes this _is_ 17,4 MBytes) (compressed, bzip2): 3,322,456 bytes
One mega-patch to shear off about 140 KBytes from the compressed (and about 170 k from the unpacked (94488 vs. 94316 KBytes ) kernel source would (while it may be the biggest single "reduce-size-of-kernel-tree patch" in years :-) ) a little gross.
