  • The driver for /proc/config.gz consumes rather a lot of memory and it is in
    fact possible to build it as a module.

    In some ways this is a bit risky, because the .config which is used for
    compiling kernel/configs.c isn't necessarily the same as the .config which was
    used to build vmlinux.

    But OTOH the potential memory savings are decent, and it'd be fairly dumb to
    build your configs.o with a different .config.

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
