>32k of __initdata, _before_ it is compressed, is not a bad deal.
If it is discarded after boot, what about hot-plug PCI ?
It's a good point, but we may end up wanting to use different mechanisms to deal with hot-plug devices versus devices detected on boot. Yes, it's best if as much of the code path is shared as possible, but there may be enough other differences with how we want to handle hot-plug PCI that this isn't an issue.
At the very least, it's probably better to try to design a complete hot-plug solution that to make guesses about what's the best way to support to handle one tiny bit of the problem now. :-)
