Here are the size results, for a start: UP: Before: size vmlinux text data bss dec hex filename 3094881 243110 221184 3559175 364f07 vmlinux After: size vmlinux text data bss dec hex filename 3093409 243142 221184 3557735 364967 vmlinux SMP: Before: size vmlinux text data bss dec hex filename 3222269 318770 237568 3778607 39a82f vmlinux After: size vmlinux text data bss dec hex filename 3221421 314674 237568 3773663 3994df vmlinux (The data size changes are moving from pda -> percpu, and on SMP removing the page-aligned PDA). So, a slight win. lmbench tomorrow...
