One more thing:

Clemens' last patch didn't add anything to the kernel's binary size.
It didn't slow down anything either, as there is no run-time condition
evaluation. It just makes something configurable which was hard
coded before. So where's the cruft?

The comparison to 'bash in the kernel' is really inappropriate.
