shrinks my 3.2.1-compiled kernel text by about 64 kbytes:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
3316138  574844  726816 4617798  467646 vmlinux-before
3249255  555436  727204 4531895  4526b7 vmlinux-after

mnm:/tmp> nm vmlinux-before|grep __constant_c_and_count_memset | wc
    233     699    9553
mnm:/tmp> nm vmlinux-after|grep __constant_c_and_count_memset | wc
     13      39     533

Can anyone see a problem with it?
