When encaps is used, arch/i386/boot/compressed/Makefile does not strip the .note and .comment sections from vmlinux to build $tmppiggy. When encaps is not used these sections are stripped first. Even with most of the code compiled as modules, there is still approx 10K of data in these sections in vmlinux. Should the .note and .comment sections be stripped when using encaps?
Fortunately these sections compress very well, it only adds about 32 bytes to zImage on my configuration.
