There was some talk not too long ago about freeing up memory used by functions and data that are only referenced during initialization by grouping them together into their own ELF section that could be discarded after setup was complete. I was looking at the Sparc stuff in 2.1.23 to see how this was done.
I probably missed it, but where in the code do the text.init and data.init sections get released?
And is anybody working on adding this functionality to the Intel kernel yet?
Cheers, Chris
